YUM, yum and yum.

So do I see an RS America look coming about with that wing? Oh and please tell me you're not changing colour from Arrow Blue!

Ha! Yes! Always liked that wing above any other one. I tried the duck, but it wasn't to my liking. And every other one is a tad too much for my taste. This one is very sleek and seems to flow with the curves of the 964 IMO.

An no, I don't plan on changing the color.....yet.

From what I've read on here, and maybe Frank can chime in, but they mount using some sort of adhesive to the quarter window. Black Betty was the inspiration behind the purchase. Actually, behind many purchases!

I'm thinking of keeping them black for a more stealth look rather than matching body color. Along with the LWS/tech art front splitters.

Been a while since my last update. I've been waiting for parts to arrive and they finally did. I bought a set of Big Reds and 993 rear calipers that needed to be refurbed. Sent them out to John Hayworth out in N. Carolina as I heard he does amazing work. I couldn't decide on what color to go with. I was deciding between red or yellow. But in the end, I decided to get them done in arrow blue, with silver porsche logos. Car is currently at the shop having the body mods taken cared of and then she's off to my mechanic for the brake upgrade. Will post pics when she's back from the body shop. Stay tuned.....

Here's a pic of the Big Blues.

I think 10ET37 would have been a bad choice.

I had 10ET40 with 265 tyres and it required max -2 degrees neg camber plus a slight lip roll and fender flare.

by the way ... with -2 deg neg camber, my rear tyres lasted about 5,000 miles before wearing out the inside edge .. mainly street and a few track days.

I added a 7mm spacer to make the ET 43 and I have plenty of room to go even more aggressive. I think a lot of it has to do with the tires I'm running. Even though they are 265s, the profile is low and rounded as compared to a square one. There is more room between the fender and tire because of this. I also have rolled and shaved fenders to make the more aggressive ET work. Add that to the negative camber I'm already running and I'm sure it will work. I believe Frank ran a 32 ET on BB on one of his set ups and it looked fantastic.

Thanks Paul!

Been a while since my last update. The past few weeks the car has been in the shop. Had the cup mirrors, RS rear section, LWS front splitter, and left valence with cut out for dual exhaust installed. While the car was at the shop, I figured it was a good time to have the racing stripe continue over the roof and down the decklid and center bumper. Overall I'm happy with the way it turned out, but there are a few minor tweaks that I'll change at a later time. For now, here are some pics. Hope you enjoy!

Does Cali make those front license plates or is that something you threw together? I have never noticed that before. Looks good.
