Throw in a factory license plate bracket kit for good measure. Extra 50HP!

Finally located some lightweight hub centric spacers in black. Were running 15MM front and rear to get the right stance and spacing in those wide fenders. Found these on flea bay.

Nice looking spacers & thanks for sharing. Under what name/description did you find them? I tried looking up Blox spacers and didn't see them.

item #122252945956 for the same specs but check the other items for sale for different sizes. They are made and shipped from China, so I only ordered 2 to start with but they appear to be the real deal.So I just ordered another 2.

Wheel bolts............. Makes me recall the days of BMW ownership and kicking the wheels off the 2001 M5. Annoying to take off, annoying to put on.

This is why I love the 911 hot rods! The driver that reviews this Magnus car really hits it on the head for me! Im one month away from getting my hot rod back! I can literally smell the oil and hear that flat 6!
