    Completed today...... this is a car "New to my client" and it needed some Sharkwerks upgrades along with thorough cleaning and paint correction.

    Mods included to complete the "Tightness" are as follows........

    .Lightweight fly wheel
    .Short shift kit
    .In production HRE C-93 wheels brushed centers w/ polished/cleared lip
    .Tubi headers
    .Tubi quiet exhaust
    .Evomit flash to the ECU

    First up was a thorough wash/clay/de-con then brought into the shop to get started, client wanted the CARRERA S badge removed and if possible the paint smoothed so there was no evidence of the badge ever being there, sometimes with cars out in the sun the U.V. rays will make the badge "Draw up" and leave a impression that even sanding/compounding will not level without striking through the clear.


    Removing the badge.

    Looks great Bob! That white gives it a touch of class. What was used on the clear film to get that much correction? I think someone may have asked that already....apologies.
