Looks great...watch out for small rocks...they may feel like you ran over a speed bump at 60mph. :dance:

well this was an issue whe i put project mu sport race pads in - they would make the rims brown in about 15kms, of freeway driving!!

i replaced them with project mu euro pads and now ive done 80kms and the rims still look clean.

another pic from today... this is getting tedious :|




Ill definitely be raising it...


as "cool" as it looks (i guess for some my car may look horrible if your a purist, but to each their own), the fact i can no longer go around corners and feel the g's, destroys the reason i bought this car... on "semi-interesting" corners now i get scrubbing and ive rubbed the paint off the front guards on the lip...

while i love my car looking 'pretty', i only bought it because of its handling.. i was going to buy an exige but the practicality killed that idea quick smart.. the boxsters 'looks' were lacking, thus my mods, however functionality outweighs looks by far!
