[QUOTE="Tob, post: 12911891, member: 83412"] I appreciate it. My photography skills are lacking a bit and these at least help me to get some time in behind the lens. Lousy lighting seems to always have an advantage over me though. Somewhere, Bruce just smiled. Hmm. No room to back up and a fisheye shot makes the car look like Rosie O'Donnell at her fattest. Here's one of the back... [ATTACH=full]446787[/ATTACH] And one of the front (haven't done any FTBR magic up front yet)... [ATTACH=full]446788[/ATTACH] You'll have to do some imaginative interpolation to tie them together. So far the base wheels have flown under the radar and I'm thankful for it. I think the optional '13 wheel is a bit busy and lend themselves to a more European flair, if you will. I see these base wheels as a sort of modern day '95R rendition. Hopefully my love affair with them lasts more than a year! I have a few other irons in the fire that I haven't been documenting. There are so many unique but tasteful mods that I have in mind for this car. I'm not sure when it'll stop! ARP studs were just in case I do decide to thrash this thing. Plus, I'm a hardware fanatic and simply couldn't resist.:) I know you're seeing this through '13 eyes, Javier, and I'm sure you've paid attention to Bruce's comments on maybe developing a kit for the '13/'14. The front rotors have to be insanely heavy on your car so I could see quite a benefit from a lighter rotor. It'll be interesting to see if Bruce can utilize the current hat and just use a larger diameter ring. That would allow me yet another upgrade if I wanted to use the '13/'14 caliper. I suppose there is a benefit to everyone from kits such as this one from FTBR. Just keep watering your grass and before long it'll be greener than mine.;) And thanks for the kind words. [/QUOTE]
