Hey did you need spacers to put on the rims....

i just bought rims for the boxster but they seem to be too big......

19X10.5 offset 52. they seem to fit on perfect, but they also sit up right beside the shock/strut. im guessing that i will need spacers, but not sure what size of spacer.

nice rims, like them alot....

perfect

I'm not a fan of black wheels but taken as a whole, this car is very impressive; congrats. Excellent backdrop, too.

Thx, for some reason the black wheels really pop on the silver car.

Exhaust

I just had a Magnaflow exhaust put on including the Tips.

I'll take a pic tomorrow and post with the sun highlighting it.

Great deep throaty sound.

Performance wise, nothing to write home about (as with any other exhaust)

Hi, the Magnaflow you just installed is a custom design and not available from Magnaflow...is that right?


Will you have a sound clip available?

That back end looks so aggressive with the wheels sticking out and wide ass tires. I like it.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
