Same here, Bronze would be the best color for your black GT.

Anything on a black car makes it look better -dirt, grime, birdshit....

Hi Bony, we have a few groups of enthusiast here. We have a small group of about 15. But consist of very good friends. Sorry but couldn't upload any more new pics cause I think my quota is full. Thanks!

Each post allows 5 pictures and limit the pictures to 900 x 600 and you should be ok. It would be great to see pictures of your buddies and your events.

Hoosiers in the Phillipines huh?

I heard somewhere it rains occasionally down there. How do they work in the monsoon season?

Hi Texas GT, sadly we only get to drive it during weekends that is if weather permits. My GT is turning 3 years old this coming November & it has only 1,900+ miles. Thanks

Lee, nice meeting you this morning and thanks for the Photoshop Heritage. Hum.... the wheels didn't exactly jump out at me. Will have to stare at it all night tonight to know.

Just installed these Volk Racing Wheels from Ray Engineering from Japan. 1895+40/18 Front w/ Hoosier R6 255/40/18 & 1911+25/19 Rear w/ Hoosier R6 315/40/19. Pls. checkout these pics:

How wide are these rims? The 315 rear tire seems to stick out quite a bit beyond the rims.

Hi Bruce, the rear are 19x11 in width, its 1/2 an inch narrow than BBS. But actually the Goodyear's are little undersize & Hoosiers are about 3/4 of an inch wider & has thick sidewall or rimguards.

I have changed your listing from spectator to owner.

I have read about a group of super car owners in the Phillipines, are you a member, can you post event pictures?

Yes Bony, I edited the 1st two pics so I can add more, hope its enough.

I have a friend that lives in the Philippines. I went to visit him once. He took us to play golf at Puerto Azule where a monkey stole my golf ball off the fairway and three umbrella girls followed me around to make sure I did not get too much sun.

We had some great dinners and went to some fun bars.

I am looking forward to going back someday. It was just a very long trip.:cheers
