    sorry for lack of activity. Been a while since i touched my car. All my free time away from school has been dedicated to helping my friends get their cars rust free and painted. I just did my friends hachi which was my first full interior/exterior paint job. Also did my first all metal boser hood for my friends xb and painted the interior in his garage while his parents were away, just waiting on time to paint the exterior.
    the hachi is the same color as the porsche. Did the rust fixed on both doors, passenger a pillar, trunk. and remolded the spoiler.

    Really stoked to get this car finished up. Out of the group it will be the vip/show car so the pressure is on to make sure the paint comes out the best.





    Besides that i got to have lunch with Og rwb driver shinji yoshioka. Really cool and down to earth guy.

    TIME FOR SOME UPDAAAAAATES! well just a little.
    Nardi with works bell spacer fits so good.


    warning:If you are a purist look away now. About to go against the grain even more. It has been on my mind since day one to go wide or not...No matter what you do in life there will always be someone to judge you, so fuck it. Im gonna go for it.

            sorry for the lack of updates. Been extremely busy keeping my hands moving and improving my craft.
            After my last update with the wide wheels, I had to send them to BBS America to get the centers inspected and fitted for proper hardware, because of how old they are. Great customer service on their side. In the mean time I had to catch up on side projects and getting my friends and I color matched.
            Worst excuse of a booth, but made it work




            Got a quick shoot done before the porsche is downed for fenders



            Last night being able to drive the porsche for a while sucked because of the excess amount of cops lingering around, but no one got any tickets so we cant complain


            Back to the wide body

            225/45/15 Hankook Rs3 is the biggest street tire available, so this is what I will go with for now



            quite satisfied with how they look on the car, I apologize for the phone quality pictures. More to come later as I continue designing the fenders. Thank you for the interest and support!

                            • Thanks guys. In preparing to get the car rolling again, I had to install 72mm extended studs to mount the wider wheels because of the thickness of the centers.


                              Also messed with some carbon and made these slip on headlight covers, not as functional in hawaii considering we don't have a track but i figured these would be a nice touch to a more aggressive look.



                              These are the first rough concept models i have so far and hopefully soon will become physical plugs.





                              They still need to be refined but this will be the general shape of the rears and the new duck tail spoiler. Thank you for the support!
