Everyone, thank you for all the kind words.
Bruce and Robb,
Thanks for all your help in making sure everything came out perfect. You were both great to work with.
I plan to post some new and more detailed photos shortly.
I have been thinking the exact same thing.
I considered the single lug conversion, but I've heard it is heavier than the 5 bolt and the cost is rather high. I like the look, but for the track, the 5 bolt is the easier set up.

Awesome looking car, a complete and very well thought out and executed implementation on all fronts.....color combination, car enhancements, graphics, wheels, interior....just beautiful.......great eye candy all the time, and a real joy to drive on the track.....Woo Hoo

This has to be my favorite .1 RS.
You have done everything that i would do.
+1,000 on SYNERGY RACING and Kerrigan Smith, they are the BEST. Kerrigan is one the the most knowledgeable person I have ever spoke to about our cars and he is always available when I have any questions.
If you ever decide to sell the car let me know.

I took some more photos today:
The first photos shows the PMNA wickers which were riveted on. They were difficult to see in the earlier photos.

Interestingly you have created a far prettier example of what the RS.2 should have been. The front fenders dont look anywhere as much like an after thought and in so doing you have actually managed to increase the front tires to a meaningful 265 width (the RS.2 just stuffs 245's under the arche extensions- something which all self respecting GT3 owners have actually managed to do anyway without the extensions). And wow... now you have real downforce, again similar in concept to the RS.2 with the cup wing, and the cup splitters up front).
Do you mind informing me of the costs involved in getting the front arches and the rear wing and necessary ancilliaries as well as from whom you sourced the parts?
Heck, once you have the Sharkwerks 3.9 in there you may just have a better car than the RS.2!!!!
Congrats... its stunning!!!!! And all purposeful mods.... love it. Please let us know how it all hangs together on the track.
Interestingly, in the interests of getting more rubber under my car, I had contemplated gettng the car body done to RSR specs as I had access to a full genuine RSR bodykit off a friends spare list from his race campaign, but decided against it as it would be irreversible damage to my RS and the car could never go back to stock. WHat you have done is the PERFECT compromise....

Insane....looks like something that would be passing me on the Mulsanne straight. Love the graphics. I would go for the Motorsports BBS/LM single lug.
+1 for the Sharkwerks 3.9 conversion for a little extra push.

This is by far the hardest looking RS on the planet! You executed in real life what I have on paper. I wouldn't have done anything different. My favorite color combo as well. I don't know why more people don't do the PMNA Fenders more often IMO one of the best upgrades. I would love to know how it performed on the track.BTW May I ask how much do the fenders cost? Thanks
