I didnt want that big bubbly look. I wanted to give the car that "cup car" look. I like the lines personally.

I agree with the way you've done your fenders. Overall very beautiful car, hope to see it someday!

Quick question. I didn't know that Volk made a fitment of that wheel for P-cars. Is it a custom build?

Jaded the car looks great. Your body shop did a beautiful job. I would not worry at all about the gaps. Those should be pretty easy to fix and align. The deep candy red paint looks amazing.

Very nice- That has to be the sickest Targa around.
Awesome attention to detail- How did you get that carbon wing to paint-match?

I have the fabspeed headers and Agency power mufflers. I also added the B&M short sift kit. The car also has GT3 Swaybars with Agency Power adjustable sway links. I tried the cat bypass before the mufflers but the car was too loud for my taste.

Actually the wing is carbon fiber, the hood is also carbon fiber, the mirros are carbon fiber along with the lip on the spoiler. They were all candied over at the body shop.

cool- your body shop did a hell of a job.

how do you like the GT3 sways and agency links? I just installed a set of agency coilover suspension and was thinking of eventually adding the sways + links. what did it do for the ride quality?
