[DarkstaR]

OMFG WTF SEX :hitit:

[RavinJetta]

Wow that is absolutely gorgeous. Great job on it.

[DTolo]

It looks even better in PERSON!

What was that little camera situatin I saw by the rear view mirror? Looked all stealthish...

[zRockstar]

Damn, that car is insane. Those wheels are beautiful. Any angle shots??

[ChriS4]

Looks ok. Now buy him some bigger brakes.

[TOYr32]

Eh . . . not really needed when you have 13" ventilated 4 piston fixed brakes in the front and 11" ventilated floating single piston brakes in the rear.

[madisonry]

Definitely saw this tonight parked at the Ralph's in Hillcrest. I drove past it a couple of times just to gawk and then take a picture with my phone. :D

[mario]

the shark gills make me cringe. . . but otherwise very nice.

[BLACK 1.8T]

That shit is fuckin' sexy!!!

[ChriS4]

The car was built for looks (obviously), not function, so it needs some bigger brakes haha.

[bugzy]

i hate Lorinser kits ... honestly, if they got rid of the vents, the kits would so much nicer

love the wheels troy !!

[EDM]

Not liking the wheels too much. I think a straight spoke style wheel would look better.

[sdsilverm3]

Some more pics. Got about three more to finish tomorrow afternoon (after the Charger game :D). Kind of got sidetracked today shooting Ryan's A3. I believe I'm missing the rear, rear 1/4, and some details shots.

the side skirt gills should be filled

[ncttrnl]

I'd hit it before or after. Its a hot car no matter how you trim it.

Lon, I agree.

Troy, as you requested with the gills chopped.

[boostedM3]

Yup..I think it looks cleaner without the gills on the side skirt

[kRimit]

Wow. I would never have thought that something so small could make such a huge difference. The car is hot either way, but it was like falling in love with it all over again the second time around this thread.

Yeah..we saw that the other day....they even switched like 7 different spoke styles on the car in their gallery online.

[bugzy]

Troy, time to ask the owner to drop off the car to body shop to fill in those gills in the side skirts ;)

[BexSoCal]

Holy Crap that's HOT!

[RollinInGreenz]

that car needs 24's...the wheel gap in front and behind the wheels turns me off

[EuroTrip]

Damn, wheres my cvmrag?

[boostedM3]

22" wheels are max fitment on this car and with 22" you have to run such a small tire that with the vehicle weight rims will bend for sure.
That being said I see the gap you are talking about...it would be nice if the body line at the bottom of the wheel wells followed the contour of the wheel.

[boostedM3]

Here are a few pics WITH the new brakes :)
