lower your car?

Very nice car! Great color combo.

Do 295's fit on our cars without spacers?

I really like the windstop window sticker, but I don't like the decals on the side panels. Just a personal opinion. Other than that, you have done a great job!

What did you do with the stock wheels?

Zaino is a great product.

Who did steps 4-6 for you? How does this effect the warranty?

Can you "feel" the extra 20 HP over stock?

See my answers to your questions:

Very nice car! Great color combo. THANKS

Do 295's fit on our cars without spacers? YES, i TRIED WITH SPACERS, BUT WAS TOO WIDE. THE WHEELS WERE BUILT WITH LESS OFFSET AND DIDN'T NEED SPACERS

I really like the windstop window sticker, but I don't like the decals on the side panels. Just a personal opinion. Other than that, you have done a great job! AGREED AT FIRST. I DIDN'T THINK I'D LIKE THE DECAL ON THE DOORS, BUT IT LOOKS GREAT IN PERSON. AND THE RED DECAL MATCHES THE TOP PERFECTLY.

What did you do with the stock wheels? SOLD STOCK WHEELS AND TIRES TO ANOTHER PORSHE OWENR THAT HAD 18' STOCK

Zaino is a great product. NOTHING BETTER. IN FACT, I USED THEIR CS (CLEAR SEAL) PRODUCT FOR THE FIRST TIME... ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW.... JUST WIPE ONE AND LET IT DRY TO A PERFECT DEEP SHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who did steps 4-6 for you? How does this effect the warranty? I DID ALL 10 STEPS MYSELF... I LOVE DOING THIS STUFF. I'M PRETTY MECHICALLY INCLINED AND IT'S A HOBBY FOR ME. BY LAW, NOTHING CAN EFFECT A WARRANTY UNLESS THE DEALER CAN PROVE THE ADDON CAUSED THE PROBLEM!!

Can you "feel" the extra 20 HP over stock? YES YOU CAN. THE CAR JUST FLAT OUT PULLS HARDER. AND WITH THE MODS, POWER (HP & TORQUE) COME ON EARLIER / SOONER.

Where did you get the front lower bumper add on's and how much are they?

[SPIRO]

Looks nice! The Colour combo is distinctive.

Where, may I ask, did you purchase the stainless steel lug bolts?

[renzop]

They come with the RS 60 package.

Where, may I ask, did you purchase the stainless steel lug bolts?

I was wondering the same thing. I bought mine from eBay and from the picture they look identical to yours, so I have a question...

I find that the torque up differently then the stock bolts, the stock bolts reach the point where the torque wrench clicks to indicated the correct amount of torque has been reached, they do it in a very definitive way (no question; that is as tight as the wrench will go).

I found that the stainless bolts, then to continue a slow turn as you get close to the specified torque, almost as if they are distorting under load. If I had to describe the feeling, it is as if the threads are shearing, just as they would when you were about to strip a bolt.

Did you notice this phenomena?
