Time to say goodbye to the Old C32
and welcome the new version 2.0
Thanks again to Darwin and Krew at SonicMS Mountain View, CA for convincing me. I think these wheels and the HREs are my top two favorites. Red caps FTW

Well done.

Very tastefully done!

The drop is very nice also - what are you using (springs or coilovers)?

I was gonna suggest that, but I figured you were a big fan of the yellow calipers. The red calipers would do well w/ the red caps

edit: did you roll your rear fenders? They appear to protrude a bit more than mine.

Yes, they are rolled and pulled out a little to clear 19x10 in the rear. I'm planning to space out the rear soon.

I always loved what you did to your car. I remember going through the pic thread when I first got the C and I thought your car was one of the best looking C's in that thread. Once again you please my eye

Do it Frank! You're the OG C32 guy. Frank's car was my motivation back in the day when I first got my C32
