I think both sets look cool. Shit that's a clean garage.

Looks sweet! Hope you got Mark's discount, those lights are the price of a used car.

[thedak]

:hello:

[Tom]

those do look a lot better, nice upgrade

[thedak]

Was about a 4 hour job taking my time and being careful.

Hopefully get the 2016 headlights in next week.

Another 3-4 hour job.

[SlowSix]

working on those cars looks like it sucks

[thedak]

They are def put together in a specific order.

Cause they they don't come apart easily...

[u1arunit]

Looking great Matt. I definitely like the new set better. I will text you when the headlights come in. :awsome:

[steedafied]

Come on Mark! No overnite parts from Japan? :P

[PaxtonShelby]

[turbo83coupe]

Very nice!!

[thedak]

Headlights are in.

Will work on it this week.

Entire front end, splitter, and under belly has to come off.....

[sutyak]

How many days does an oil change take? :icon_mrgreen:

[thedak]

Gotta save some cash or sell some old parts.

Wanna get the short block out of the car by Feb

Manley Pistons, Rods, Upgraded Wrist Pins, ARP Main and Head Studs.

[thedak]

Just going to leave the bumper cover off at this point.

[PaxtonShelby]

Pull the tail lights out again so you can yank the motor.

[steedafied]

Could probably take your old parts and build another GTR :P

Looks great!! I love the new style lights.

[thedak]

Ditched the K&Ns

Went with the much larger green filters.

[steedafied]

That was the first mod I didn't see a pile of parts beside your car! Green Filter is located a mile from my house in Uniontown.

[thedak]

Yep, these things appear to be a much nicer design.

These show a solid 5-10hp gain at my level over the K&N.

[thedak]

Bumper cover back on.

GTR is a fantastic vehicle. Wanted one since 2009.

Worked hard and found a good deal on one.

I'm completely satisfied and then some with it.

I would bet that a Smart and GTR have never shared the same garage space until today.

[Mark Aubele]

If price were no object, I'd have to go Viper. But since it always is, I have to go GT350R with no stripes. Get a towel for that passenger seat for when the revs go above 7500

Also that is a pic of the standard GT350, the R has slightly sexier carbon wheels. Those are the standard white trash alloys.

[PaxtonShelby]

GT350R for the panty-droppin' win!

[u1arunit]

Porsche Cayman GT4

No way I'd choose otherwise! It's pure sex on wheels!

[PaxtonShelby]

If so then the GT350R is a threesome (MFF) on wheels.

[95V6]

GT4 all day long

[thedak]

Working on a GT4 allocation at MSRP right now.

I want 5% off but it does't seem to be flying anywhere.
