The Before and After Thread
 
This thread is dedicated to all those who went down the "rabbit hole". This was my jitney in the beginning and now at the end. Of course we all know that there's never an end. :) Post your before and after photos.

You are done. Now you need to sell me your car and start over on another one. :D

You have a keen eye ! Those were the original Sportec one piece forged mono 10's that 3T Motorsport used to import. I was able to get my hands on one of the last sets before Sportec re-organized and discontinued them. They were phenomenal wheels. Interestingly, I also had a set of the current mono 10 as well. Frankly, I don't think that they compare to the originals. BBS now makes the mono 10 for Sportec, and they are no longer a forged design. But, rather, they utilize a "flow form" process. I've since sold both sets.

Johhny D. Both photos are sweet. Very nice job and each is impressive. I too like the first photo but i think its because of those wheels. Love the additions to the new one. Once I get the "hidden" mods done on mine I will do some visuals as well.

Haha...me too. I like the OEM Aerokit II bodykits, but personally, I think Danger's kit is a bit over the top. To each his own though.

After: I'm going to install OEM Aerokit 1 sideskirts soon though.

Anyone know what wheels are on the red car?? Those are seriously the sickest black wheels I've seen yet, love the no lip look. Also, is the silver car Aero kit II ?

If you are referring to the "kit", the front bumper and side skirts are from Hamann in Germany( $$$$$$) and the rear bumper is from FVD Brombacher.

Wow, after a long debate in purchasing either the MK1 or MK2 GT3 front bumper, you have me back at where I began! Absolutely stunning my friend! The side skirts, are they aero kit 1 or 2? Either way, she is pretty is all hell. Well done and tastefully modified.

wheels
 
986roadster, what wheels are you running??

They look great.

986Roadster 05-12-2010 05:36 AM

Hey,

They are Axis Rims. I had them painted a gunmetal colour. They get alot of compliments. When I leave the car at the mechanics, he says that all the 911
guys check the car out and love it. I'm guessing that it's the Aero kit 1 side skirts...

Here is a better pic.

The side skirts and bumper are both aero kit II.

Jaji 05-12-2010 10:58 AM

Yeah, it looks good!

samuelpaul11 06-22-2010 07:30 PM

I have used custom wheel for my car. But I have noticed that It had been not looked so pretty than Johnny's car. I have noticed that I should use broad width wheel. I wish that I will get it as soon as far. I hope that I will find it.

Thank you, Its a Caractere carbon fiber trim. I purchased it used from a Canadian guy coming off his lease. It used to be lapis blue, I believe. May be a past/current member? Shaved "Caractere" letters from bottom for a cleaner look.
