Looking good Jamy! It seems we have two new P.I.M.P.s in Boston with DEETZ and yourself
. Very nice shots of the kits together. It really shows the different approaches that Gemballa and TechArt took with the kit. I have some more pics of your car that I will send you tmw

Am I the only one that noticed that your front tires aren't on the correct side? If they're supposed to be directional (which it appears they are), your fronts need to swap sides. Not trying to sound like a dick.

Just hope that you haven't put too many miles on those tires if they are pointing the wrong way. This can seriously damage your tread's integrity. It can definately lead to tread separation.
If they mounted them and set them pointing in the wrong direction and you've put a little bit of mileage on them, I'd recommend to them that they replace them as a safety precaution. The last thing they would want is to have a customer's car involved in a potentially harmless situation because of a tech not paying a little attention to detail. That is one easy detail in addition.

Basically, most performance tires are unidirectional. This means that the tread on them will face toward forward motion. In other words, go outside, look at the sidewalls on your tires, and check if they have any indication along them (just like you would see the size and naming) that says "direction" and has an arrow indication the tread's directional flow. If they are pointed toward the front of the car, this is good. If they are pointed toward the rear, that is bad.
