DJ,

Its looking real good. Your car is coming together real well. I was not a fan of the rims at first but they have grown on me, the last few time you posted pictures they have come into their own. the rims look great, especialy with your color.

I love the way the car sits. What springs do you have on the car?

When you first said you where going to do a Momo wheel I wanted to write you and ask what the heck are you thinking...I thought you where putting a retro wheel in your Boxster. I have to say that is one amazing wheel, It goes really well with your theme.

Keep up the good work.
One last touch...get the bumperetts painted.

You have a beautiful car,
Gary

thx man

springs are by Gemballa
bumperettes will get painted once it gets warm out thats for sure, i kinda wanna eliminate them completely but not sure on that yet.
and yeah, the wheel is absolutely beautiful, leather and perf. leather, very nice feel, and a little smaller, so grip and handling is great.
and i gave the wheels 3 coats of WheelWax treatment today as well, so they shine up very nice

The FVD wheel I put in my car a few months ago is also smaller than OEM and I noticed right away it seemed to make the car "feel" better. I guess its less movement for my steering hands to make the front wheels move. The smaller wheel is an improvement.

I think there is a bracket behind the bumperetts that needs yo be cut or at least covered. I think our cars look better without them.

yeah the bracket needs to be taken off, but the cost of repainting the whole bumper vs bumperettes is preventing me....i already spent more than i wanted on the car lol (everyones story hahah)

Nevermind the bumperettes...leave them on...tell people you are matching them to the tires.

There you go my friend no more money spent on the car.

It looks good with them stock, dont sweat it.
