Mine is still a work in progress. It will be TII swapped as soon as I have the funds. I already have an extra harness ready and the motor is in the shed. Just need the rest of the pieces. Anyway, on to the pics...





Plans include:
TII swap
Shine front 1/2 bumper and rear caps, TII skirts, Rotary Extreme diffuser, European side marker eliminators.
Respray in either Porsche Guard Red or Saturn Ruby Red
New top

The rear tires are 255/40-17. Those are perfect as I want to keep my speedo correct. The fronts are 235/45-17. I agree that they are too tall. I picked them up used just so I could get the wheels on the car. Once I put my new tires (235/40-17), I'll be good since the new tires will be 1" less in diameter. That'll give me an extra 1/2" of clearance.

As for the height... I'm not planning on going any lower with the car for two reasons. 1) South Carolina roads suck. 2) I have a body kit that's going on soon and that will give the lower appearance.

Here's my vert. It just got a shiney new motor dropped in last week, so these are what I've taken so far. I need to go somewhere more scenic than my driveway, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

My girlfriend tells me that I'm not allowed to replace them since they are so damn comfortable. It can be tough to hear when you're going 90 w/ the top down, so the speakers are definitely nice too.

Here is my little turbo vert.

Everything is bone stock and I love it. Only thing I'm going to do is add some racingbeat cans on the rear.
