Trying to figure if I like it or not, and I think i do. It looks pretty damn cool for sure, and is different. I would have gone the other way, blue inner and black outer. And this is coming from a person that has a porsche that has all blacked out fuchs wheels. In other words I have been sent to porsche hell for doing that to these original wheels.
that sucks. the one person i know who makes carbon parts for saabs has all his molds up for sale. I guess i'm outta luck. unless some up-and-coming carbon fabricator decides to buy up those molds and produces the same quality products. I wish!
They're great cars, just a bit heavy for me. If you can change the hood, fenders, doors, and rear qtr panels to carbon, i bet that's at least 200lbs. that could be shed. then change the front seats to some sparcos or recaros, and there goes another 40-70lbs. ahhhh.....at least i can dream....

I'm guessing you're talking about Kevin Yankton. I think Abott Racing bought some of his molds but I'm not sure which. I saw something recently for sale saying Abbot Racing on it and looked like Kevin's work. I think there was a thread on this forum about it too (within the last month)
for sure i know it was the engine cover. i wonder if anyone is campaigning to perhaps convince the guys at GS to buy them up...? that would be great so the prices wouldn't skyrocket. somehow i think abbott will have a bigger mark up...

Very nice car, I agree that you must take out the orange reflectors. The first picture is my desktop background until you take better pictures with a good background.
wow , those wheels look great! It would not work with just any car/color combo, though. Yes, need clear corners on that car, but I prefer them on my cars. I wonder how smoked would look?
Thanks a lot for all the positive feedback.
I thought long and hard how to paint them and I have to say they came out way better than I expected, so needless to say I'm very pleased
It's funny with the corners, here in Scandinavia people upgrade to US-spec corners while you guys go for clear corners But I think I might have to peel off the orange bit thought. Smoked might also work since I will get a modded carbon grill soon so it would go better with the hood
Didn't find any image in that link?
But gunmetal with polished lip is seldom wrong
