i am not trying to sound like a dick, you have done a ton of work to you car, and the only thing that stands out is the rocker panels, they look horrible like that, please fix them.

your car is to nice to have a half a$$, slapped on body panel, that is less then a 10 minute fix and would transform the way the car is right now.

attention to detail is everything~!

Hey William, thanks for ripping me off on the ruf wheels you sold me.thanks for telling me they were excellent, I guess you forgot about all the curb marks all over the wheels. Thanks for telling me it's now my problem, and the guy ripped you off and that is the way you got them from the seller. I paid $3,500 for them dumb ass and now you think it's ok for me to spend $1,000 to have
Redone again, anyone that buys from him you better see it in person.so now that my old wheels are sold, my car will sit for 6-8 weeks before I will get the wheels back.PS see you in Austin in a few weeks, really looking forward to meeting a nice guy like you.Would have been nice if you offered a few hundred back or some else you may have around your garage.

looks good.

on the filters, i would make sure to have the two small breather filters pointing up and not out like on the last picture. that way you reduce the risk of getting oil dripping onto the engine.

just my 2c

Got the tail back from paint and installed it just barely fits past the intercooler



Plus I took the ruf emblem off and painted the TURBO emblem matte black and re-installed it

It's funny how there is lots of money spent on this build and zip ties are still used Is there not a better set up for this kind of upgrade? Sorry........it looks so professionally done and then there's black tape etc.

I LOVE the RS door panels where you kept the maroon top portion. Nice touch. Also the white straps. Where did you get the straps?

As for the above ^^ I'm sure he could fab up a bracket to hold it but as long as it functions safely for now that's okay. These cars are always projects to me - never done. but merely infinitely approaching that state. Kind of like a hyperbolic graph. or maybe I'm just being weird now.....

You know those speakers are gonna add on awful lot of weight.....

Be safe, have a good evening!

Cheers
