GT2 Side Skirts Installed... Pix Inside

Hi all,

So this is my latest chapter in our never ending epic to personalize our cars.

Gents, I thought of an appropriate title for this epic:
The Quest for Self Impoverishment


But I digress...
... Previously on TQSI ...
I had installed SpeedArt CF side intake covers, ROTtec CF mirrors, roof spoiler and wing blade.

I had ordered and received GT2 side skirts from Suncoast and I now have them installed...

So, without further ado, here are the pics, please lemme know what you think.

Nice! I love mine; they are subtle but really make the car "pop".

Hey Karim. I must say they do like very nice indeedy!!. Were these a DIY job or too hard to fit? And the title of the episode TQFSI.....very very clever ....yet so very very true .

So.. your particular QFSI remains a work in progress eh? Oh well, dont forget to let us all know when that pot is finally near empty . I think that type 1 lip is going to set it all off very nicely!! + help that quest along a bit further for you . And dont worry...you will get there.

Too true. You can tell something is different and nicer about the car but not over the top...

Thanks Ken. After having them installed, I'm so glad I went with them and not with another model. They add an aggressive look and fill out the sides nicely all the while remaining subtle and classy.

Thanks Dave. So glad you like 'em. Specially coming from you my friend.

Thanks bro. Love 'em too. Although I must say, Kermit is one of the nicest P-cars on here!

Hey Paul. Thanks for the compliment.
I got these from Suncoast unprimed. They needed to be primed and painted at a body shop here so I just had them do the install as well, so no DYI.
Priming, painting and installation cost me a grand total of $100/-!

On the QFSI issue, fortunately, I had a wizard cast a replenishment spell on the pot. Unfortunately, the outflow into the drain is somewhat bigger than the inflow from the faucet these days, and on more than one front.

The CF Lip has been shipped. It should be here and installed shortly. I then plan on going out on a proper photo shoot along with some of my friends and their cars. Will post 'em as I get 'em.

Cheers Paul and thanks for all your support and encouragement. Means a lot to me.

Karim that looks great! Nice work... Dam berry was too small to enjoy the pics.
Now you should consider a set of spacers in the back at least. Or 15 in the back and 5 in the front?

Here is the idea, 15mm (or 17 i dont recall) in the back, none in the front!


Sorry to hear the funnel seems inverted, I guess its global. That is always a ***** of a realization to make. I wish (for all of us) it flips back real soon!
