I had to go and put the Spacers on even though I will have to take them off and put them back on when the BBk comes in next week. My agsr finally came in from m7 and the AEM boost gauge. Still waiting on my helix fmic.

So a few pages back I was talking about offsets and Spacers well I confirmed with my r105s that I did well with the choice of Spacers. I have 20mm Racemax rear Spacers and 12mm Racemax front Spacers on my car. I just did it a few mins ago so the car hasn't settled yet.

I'll add some more photos tomorrow when it settles. Can't wait for the bbk should be in Monday.

And everyone's cars look great I really like the orange accents.

Hahaha thanks, it was a app for my iPhone called Camera+. It actually supposed to look like a model that was the setting I had it on...easy peasy.

Some pics of the new graphics! I apologize for the dirty car, but being towards the end of the semester, I am swamped. Hopefully will put up some clean ones before leaving for the Dragon on Wednesday.

We are making the "3" larger next week because I think they look too small. Other than that, I like the look.

Enjoy!

Yep, that was me. That's the stock JCW exhaust. I love it!

This is what I was driving...

Thanks, OneFish! The guys who designed my graphics took the Challenge graphics and mixed them with the 911 GT3 RS graphics. It worked out nice. I am doing a black accent kind of thing instead of completely blacking out the car.

Looks great! Is that an optical illusion in the 2nd pic or do you have some kind of checkered flag insert in your seat?

Sooper,

The roof checkers continue onto the sunroof. It is just the sun coming through to the interior. It is an awesome optical illusion!

It looks so real in that pic! After seeing what it could look like in your photo it might actually be a good idea... Not sure how to pull if off though without a custom upholstery job.

I was a bit put off by it when the guy who installed it recommended it because of the blocking of the sunroof. But, I have to say, it works wonders for the sunroof. I was going to tint the panels because I am going to be moving to TX in a few weeks, but the checkers allow the perfect amount of light to come through, and provides plenty of shade. With your black JCW, you could do flat or gloss black checkers and it would look awesome. I went gloss with mine because every thing else on the car is gloss.

I'm actually thinking of putting on flat black racing stripes across the hood sunroof and boot.
You'll be glad you're blocking some sun from getting in when you move to Texas. I tinted my sunroof and it still gets really hot inside in the summer if I have to park it outside for too long.

I get the same issue here in Charleston. I have learned to deal with it. Most of the time I have the roof open and the windows down, so it is all good. I cannot wait to get out to the Dragon this week! I can hopefully get some more pics then.

@Laardilla21

Are those 4" squares on top? They really look good.

Dumb question. Over the sun roof, how are the checkers applied? Are they individual black squares or is it one big sheet with transparent squares?
