TRANSAMERA Report post Posted May 29, 2012 Car looks great! Spotted a black R8 V10 Spyder just recently (had black interior with red inserts...sick!)...cruised along with it for a while. Oh, and the GIRL driving it was freakin hot! Damn, she was fine! A fine girl in a fine car = instant boner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRANSAMERA Report post Posted May 31, 2012 Looks good without springs! Thanks! I think so to! Congrats, car looks great! Thank you! I vote springs!! But I'm not impartial..... Damn, that sure do look BADASS!! I love the GT canards as well and I want them but I don't think it will make any difference since my car is black, no? How much were they? Did you drive the car before lowering it? I LOVE the comfort in this car, it rides better than the X6 damnit I am afraid I will ruin it.. Also, there is no front lift offered on R8's, how do you deal with bumps etc? The 35mm H&R springs I have lowers it quite a bit..

And that does look bad ass Leadfoot!!! CONGRATZ!! That is a DOUBLE win for you, first you get the best Spyder in the world and you get rid of the ugliest car on the planet in the process! The taillights are a must, do it! If I don't lower the car I can sell you the springs and the exhaust I have lying around here.. I vote UGR. DO IT!!!! Thanks guys! It's a great car! I love driving it more each day!! You will too! Slowpoke's review is dead on! I must admit it does look great. Thanks capt!

Leadfoot Report post Posted May 31, 2012 Jirre, I drove the car about a month before I put the springs on. The ride was unbelievable before the springs--it's still very good after. I can only compare it now to the Superleggeras and Aventador, and though worlds better than those cars, not as "gliding" smooth as before. The roads in Atlanta are quite good, so I don't notice any difference on the main roads, but secondary roads are noticeable. I still love the look enough to compromise a little on the ride comfort. I just can't believe the handling capabilities of this car. Exit the highway at twice the speed you feel you should, set the car, stay constant on the gas, and the car just pulls around the corner without any drama whatsoever. No understeer push like the Lambos.... I got the Canards from a guy in Germany. He is on R8Talk and I paid $800 for them. I think he can make more if you are interested. Here is a pic of them on a black car (the Canards are gloss, not matte like on the GT...): Love the Batman pic... I need an Ironman shirt, here's my license plate...(from Iron Man II) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup Report post Posted May 31, 2012 I love your R8, the rear looks so brutal with the white/black. Too bad you sold your SL 570, I love the way it looked in your avatar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickSimmons Report post Posted May 31, 2012 White looks good, Leadfoot. I'm always a bit jealous of white V10 cars because they offer than nice contrast with the rear bumper which I can't get with my black car. Thought about wrapping it, but then I'd need to change the bumpers too. Decided it wasn't worth the hassle give how seldom I'm around to use it. You got a pretty good price on the canards. While $800 is still expensive for something so small, it's a lot cheaper than I've seen the OEM stuff sell for. OEM GT parts are crazy expensive. I think the canards were like $2500. Have you thought about changing the chrome grill to black? It's 50/50 I guess. Some like it, some don't. I'm more partial to the V8 black grill with chrome border.
