Thanks for the compliments.

About the stickers on pedals, I'm getting another new pedal made with real Porsche crest (metal) insert and epoxy cover, instead of sticker+epoxy. Don''t know if it will be any better.

It's funny because Japanese around me also said that I 'disrespect' Porsche by stepping on the crest. Maybe I should give it a deep bow before I drive

Hello fellow Boxs enthusiasts,

Been more than 3 months since I updated this thread.

My boxs was recently featured in Japanese audio catalog magazine

Here's the picture of the front cover that I scanned.

And picture of the main article. The Japanese gibberish is basically a quick run down of the audio setup.

Nope. I switched the wheel to Tech Art during photoshoot only

Atm, I'm in process to get the Tech Art ones adjusted. The shop said they can reduce about 5mm of the wheel so I hope that can fix the sticking-out-from-fenders problems. Will post an update to the other thread when I get the wheels back.

10.5 inch is about 266.7 mm, so with 5mm reduction, the size will be about 261.7mm.

Just an update...

The size reduction adjustment (5mm) made the rear wheel to brush against the rear shocks

I have ordered another set of rear wheels but with smaller ET straight from Germany (can't find any in stock here)...hopefully they'll get here in 2 weeks. Will post new pics when I got it installed.
