Default What did you do to your GT car today!

Figured since there isn’t one here, may as well start one. I realize that several of the members have a personal build thread but this can serve as a dumping ground for work and mods done to our cars for those that don’t have such thread and still want to share.

Hopefully this thread will get some Traction.

I’ll start. Installed @Silverlake Projects titanium studs and nuts. Studs PVD coated black and nuts coated gold. Did this to help with wheel mount and dismount and looks. I didn’t realize that it would make the car so much faster and handle way way better. A night and day difference.

The car was in the garage and lighting wasn’t the best this am. I’ll replace the pictures later this afternoon along with an install procedure.

Replaced her with the new black …








Nightmare shipping story. Had to drive 3+ hours with my trailer to go fetch her after shipper’s truck “broke down.” It did not break down. It threw a CEL light and the kid driving assumed that was fatal. Sigh. Home now.

I like this thread. Lots of builds and journals out there. This a good dump for random/fun projects.

Will get these on asap !

This is more like what did you do for your car today but still a nice thing to have in the garage.

Set an appointment for new rotors and pads, front and back, lol. Next is fresh PPF all over. I keep putting that off because I don't want to be unable to drive. But, being out of town for a week forces me to.

Refreshing the set of 18" Forgelines and getting fresh tires of that will be next.

You should take a few before pictures so you can post up the difference. That's a nice amount of work, which has got to be exciting.

19" black Forglines off and 18 inchers on...for 3 days then back to the black ones for a road trip. Love them both, hard to choose. But, if I can actually find road-bias tires for the 18's, I'll run those for a while. Thiccccc rubber man, can't beat it.

Yeah, the tire was annoying, it was low when I brought it home, I run a dealer so not a big deal to get it fixed.

The Cayenne was the addition for my wife, she likes it and that's all that matters.

M coupe is my long time garage queen, owned it for about 12 years now

Not sure where to post this gem. But, since I saw it while doing things for my car, I guess it works here?

I never knew there was one in this color.
