mine is in the shop for painted lower trim, new wheels and lowering springs this weekend.
Do you have any photos of the monochrome look?

Cant wait to see your speed yeller.

Wilson,
I meet you at Premier party Fremont, CA. I see you done many great modes, but…
Here’s my honest opinions, you have Techart adjustable rear wing, Techart rear diffusor, Techart sport exhaust tips, Rinspeed side skirts with stock front spoiler. Not a good combination, that’s why you are not feeling it.
Since you have all the Techart parts on the rear, you should follow up with Techart front spoiler & Techart side skirts. That would look Hot! Paint your side skirts black wouldn’t make any different, see photo #1.
If you like to keep the Rinspeed side skirts, then you should change to Rinspeed front bumper. See photo #2.

Ty,

Good to hear from you and thanks for your input. I have been thinking about this same thing/combo for some time. Something will change, just need to sort it out.

I like the skirts. They look pretty good. I'd keep them for sure.

The fuzzy dice on the other hand have to go

Who's the kid in the garage who needs a haircut and a belt?

Why do you have a plasma in the empty garage? Do you sit in the car with the wife and pretend you're at a drive in?

Thanks Dep, had a feeling you would chime in...

My kids got the dice for me at thier school carnival and thought it would be nice for me to hang them on my mirror (when parked in the garage) Hard to say no.

Thats my oldest one who is a water polo and swimming star. Hair every swimming where! Might be a chick attempt thing... Now that you mention it he does need a trim.

5.1 sourround with wall sub and iPod, HVAC, beverage fridge, ECT. I actually dont know why I did all that, I never use it!

The drive in thing might actually work. I'm gonna go ask her for a date right now and see what the outcome will be.

Later

I love the look of the Rinspeed front bumper. I like how they put the fogs inward of the stock location, it seems so much better integrated. I'm not sure how I feel about the vents on the side just ahead of the wheels, that may be too ricey for some, but I like the rest of the bumper. I wonder if they make it without the GT3 vents just ahead of the hood. That would probably be a little more sleek.

If I undersatnd correctly, the Rinspeed bumpers is all fiberglass. Not much room for error if you tap it hard on something... The OEM at least has the replaceable lip. Anyone know the material of the TA lip?

Really? I thought Rinspeed's bumpers would be urathane given how expensive those things are.
