Thank you, I had my body shop fab it up for me. During install I realized more how much my front end needs to be refreshed so in about two weeks I'm getting the front end resprayed/blended.

I still have to work on the positioning but here's a quick shot with my potato phone.

Art pipes installed and paired with my Invidia Q300. Initial review is I love the added sound improvement over the stock cats, but am looking to go full Motordyne probably towards the end of the year, or spring time.

Currently waiting to install my intake manifold and headers (once I am able to purchase) them time to get tuned with EcuTek.

I took Betty shoe shopping and she finally made a decision.

Looks like Betty is getting spoiled
Nice choice but we need some close shots (and wheel/tire specs too) don't be a tease Mr. Pedro

Kind of a lousy picture, Pedro, and no specs. However... that's a better look than before. I think polished lip rims are a dated design, but when something looks good it can't be denied. You've got lots of black trim on a red car, so having black wheels with a polished lip just looks right. That ring gives you a better sense of how well fitted the wheels are to the car.

See you in a few weeks, buddy. More pics, please.

-Quad Projectors

-Quad Lens upgrades
-Panamera Shroud with custom switchback LED's made to fit Sedan shroud.
-Flat black Shoud
-Gloss Gun Metal Eyebrow and Panamera Housing
-Red Stripe within Panamera Shroud
-5K D2S Osram Xenarc CBI
-5K Morimoto XB LED Fogs

Installed today Tein Z Flex Coilovers. (Waiting for them to settle to provide pictures.)

I have acquired the following but have yet to install them:

-Carbon Signal 3 Piece Rear Diffuser
-Successful Automotive CF Front Splitter (to be wrapped in Gloss black)
-RJM Clutch Pedal (Can't find anyone local to install )

For your viewing pleasure.

Damn Pedro, that pic looking straight at the grill is full money, love what you're doing here, but still more (and bigger) pics are needed!

Lol I know, I know. Unfortunately life has had me neglecting Betty a bit. Once I get her detailed up, and coils have settled I'll post more pictures up.

I'm not sure if the pictures are smaller because I'm uploading via the iPhone App. 🤔
