Techart sideskirts installed, RWD conversion done

Over the last week had techart (replica) sideskirts installed at regal auto body in Long island, NY.

I absolutely love the new look and should have done this along time ago!
The middle of the car looks so much beefier compared to the bland look it had before.

Purchased the techart replicas from tony at precision porsche in cali... delivery was super fast.

The actuall install/ paint match is excellent. couldnt be happier. Regal Auto body in Long island NY did the paint/prepping/body work. They also actually did my rear GT2 wing and front bumper install as well a while back. If anyone is in the NY area and wants a GOOD spot for paint/body work pm me ill give you their number.

After the paint work took the car to RPM racing in long island, for a RWD conversion/corner balance/alignment. I feel the extra power the car has with the slight weightloss and less drivetrain loss. Car is super fun to drive now strait line, and ESPECIALLY, in turns. Turn in is so much better. Car feels like it can be thrown around like a real sports car. All i need to do is really tweak the front suspension now and i should be set... boy i wish i had some motons...

Thanks to all parties involved for great work!

-Most likely if conditions permit ill take the car to englishtown this friday and see if i can better my best ET 11.48 or best trap of 129 all achieved on AWD. This can serve as a good before/after with respect to AWD/RWD discussions.

hot - i love the color too... I prefer those sideskirts with the full techart kit and painted OEM lowers for the gt2 body though.

yea normal GT3 seats. thanks for comments all. exclusive, yea i agree that a techart front would be a really nice addition. would look way more aggressive and kitted out. I do however really like this configuration as it still has a stock GT2 agresssive look (compard to stock turbo), but the side skirts really make the car stick out.

perf outfitters, ill let you know if ill make it.

steve, ya car feels more planted and way more fun to drive.

harold your car looks amazing..it inspired me to get the techart sides once i seen pics of your car...

Nice nice nice

Would you mind telling where you get the replicas sides from and are them permanently glued to your car body or did they used 3m tape ?
