Mock up of new wheels next to turbo fender.
Augment Wheels did an amazing job with these; I am really loving the finish!

Extremely pleased with my Augment RS wheels in custom offsets and brushed smoky Titanium finish.




New .2 fender vents installed.... yes, I WAS keeping the car period correct, but the new vents that protrude past the top of the fender was a MUST! This also remedies the AC line issue that I was having with the .1 vents... the fitment is now on point.

Swapped out my Turbo decklid hinges for GT3 RS decklid hinges and shocks as they are much beefier to support the decklid and wing. This also allows the decklid to be raised higher

Sam by Design is sending upgraded tunes based on my configuration and then we will do some data tuning 🤞😁

Amazing job, looking forward to updates!

Since I am doing something similar I have a question: I was told you need a harness to disable the rear spoiler when you install the fixed wing. Have you run into this? Or are you having it coded out? Also wondering if you knew if the front splitter will still work if the rear is removed?

Thanks and NICE WHEELS!

Absolutely amazing work! If I was to do something like this, I would have done exactly the same...using all factory parts because the fit and finish is so much better. I applaud your attention to detail...and those wheels are gorgeous!

Thank you! The rear active spoiler has been coded out along with the front active spoiler. No harness necessary... they have to be coded separately, so it appears that you can still have the front splitter.
