PICS of work done.

[super66]

it looks real good..like it much better than with the old wheels!

just curious if you plan on changing out the seats? I saw a turbo this weekend and the seats show the same wear in 20K miles...its too bad.....i like the red gauges a lot....was thinking a red roll bar might look real great too!

very nice man.
BUT, good luck washing those wheels and drying them

DJOLMAS, I did it today bfore the pics, and it took me and hour, because afterwards they kept dripping and the chrome lip was jacked, so I kept drying them, and yes the spokes are a ********************. But I've always loved this style.
SUPER66- Read my other new thread, have plans in the works for myself, and others here for re upholstering.
BLINK- yeah, thats what they had for the 2.5l from FVD. I didnt care much because I just wanted the red gauges.

Thanks for all the nice words. Check out my other thread for interior specials.

Regarding the wheels---I'm guessin' a leaf blower would speed up drying quite a bit. Then you could just give 'em a quick buff.

That car looks GORGEOUS, especially for a 9 year old machine. I gotta ask what regimen you use, detail-wise, on the finish. Don't need a ton of details, but just curious as to what products, do you use a buffer (I'm thinkin' you must, based on how good it looks), etc. Whatever you're doin', it's working.

Thanks FRODO. Actually my body guy polished the whole body after he repainted the front bumper, and it really brought the Basalt black out. It looks copper at times, and black, or dark brown..weird, but i fell in love with my car all over again. Cant wait for the interior to redone!!!

haha, yeah man, 1 hr to do the wheels, and like not even 20 for the car (since its so small).
as long as your car is waxed, a leaf blower does wonders, and no random drips once you drive off.
i use WheelWax on my wheels, give them a wash just like the car, and then leafblower. takes no more than minute per wheel...200ph moves water pretty good
give that a try.

Hey Dj , can you do your majic on one of my pics for a nicer Sig?

[djomlas]

here you go man, hope you like that....its somewhat similar to the pic that i did of my car a while ago.

Those red gauges look sharp. However, you better keep an eye on your digital display for speed because the analog dial is no longer accurate.

I also noticed your tach needle rests at 1500 rpm when the engine is off and it should be at zero. Did you do the gauge face swap yourself?

I must have spent 3 hours fiddling with needles when I swapped my gauge faces to get all four correct.

How accurate are the other needles?

Here's a shot of my 2.5 boxster's upgraded gauge faces
