You're welcome.

Now, for the paddle shifters. Contact my530i. He sells them. You can retrofit them to your existing steering wheel. Right now, my530i is on vacation. I think he checks his PM periodically.

Ahh that explains the unanswered PM! Thanks so much. The wife wants everything reversible but something tells me she'll love it how its going to turn out.

As far as the exhaust goes - are there any sound clips lurking of the Hamann quad setup on a 550?

I don't think anyone has posted a sound clip of the Hamann quad exhaust yet. As for tire recommendation, a majority of members here swear by Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. THE best tires.

Okay guys,

I'm officially running the 550 in the Cannonball - the Porsche 944 GTR Turbo project is going to take until April 08 to finish.

I'm going to go with the:

Hamann Front Bumper
Hamann Rear Diffuser for quad exhaust
Hamann Quad Exhaust
Hamann Trunk Lip Spoiler
Wheels....20" don't know what type yet
Possibly brembo 15/14" front rear brake package
Is there anything that improves hp/tq? Also on the Hamann front bumper it comes with the lights that go in it - are those Xenon or just regular fogs?

Any info or advice on this stuff is welcome!
The fog light on the Hamann are regular lights. You can go HID with the fogs if you want. PM EuroCarFan. He has a lot of knowledge about upgrading fogs to HID.

You will need the Brembos if you get the VFE supercharger.

Don't forgot the M5 mirrors. Picture is of a M6 mirror but the M5 mirror looks the same.
