Thank you so much. I love what you’ve done with the car. I look forward to seeing more!

Would you happen to have the air suspension rod lengths (ball center to ball center) available which you used for your Taycan?

I made a table for 10, 15 and 20mm lowering.
It's the original length minus/plus the numbers in the table:

Right. Now I get what you meant with the table ?? Thanks! So 87-88mm rear and 94-95mm front is a good starting point for the experiment ?

I've updated the first post:

No comment.

This is the way

I ordered a diffuser from Amazon. I’ll use double stick tape until I’m sure I like it. I’m a fan of rear diffusers.

3. The body line.
I don't like the line on the lower front door/sill.
The upper line doesn't follow the one below, looks wierd (it comes from the design of the Mission E).

great idea !

Great wheels, could you send a link?

It came out great! 95mm front and 87mm back ball center to ball center.

Rear diffuser coming along nicely.

Test fitting the fins.

4 Fins out of ABS plastic, final shape.

The principal in acrylic plastic (still prototype).
It cracks under tension so I switched to ABS plastic.

Nice touch! Will you be utilizing carbon fiber wrap for the fins or keep them in black?

Nice job. Your designs, which I appreciate, could very well make for an excellent aftermarket modification kit for the Taycan. But then, we wouldn't want your stormtrooper to lose its personalization. Thanks for sharing your Taycan's evolution and especially the process that's involved.

I wish I could find a helmet static cling, I can only seem to find adhesive stickers.

Rims are done.
I'm very pleased with the result!
Although they're a bit brighter than the Carrara white, I think it looks great!
Besides, rims always gets dirty so eventually they'll blend in...lol.

Hi Dee-

Can you walk me through your process of getting the rims WHITE?

Initially you tried strips but didn't seem like they stayed on.
Did you Powder Coat, what paint/color?

I also have 2021 Turbo S in Carrera White and with 21 mission e and yellow calipers and thought I was getting WHITE rims but actually silver as mentioned and would like to get them white but only want to do it once.

Thanks in advance.

Can you link the film you used? Seems like it would be trial and error so would appreciate it.

Powder coat is probably good way to go long term...

It's white adhesive film.
It works very good, even with pressure washer!
Just make a template of the shape and there you go.

Still, I'm planning to paint the rims Carrara white though, also the drum.
The black stays the same.

Nice, does that illuminate or no?

Got my new light bar with the blue letters installed today.
Finally!
