We can knock him for putting 20/21-inch wheels on a nimble sports car. But before
we sling that blind hate, we need to know that Mario is the owner of Rad48 Wheels,
so the car is essentially conceptualized around the super-aggressive, high-profile
wheel set… and prep-work for the wheel fitment was meticulous. The front fenders
were widened 7cm, and the rear quarters were widened 12cm before paint. And the
bodywork flows seamlessly under the radar with the natural lines of the car — rather
than sawzalled & riveted into place like some of the other tack-on fiberglass Porsche
wide body kits. The custom ducktail puts a little ass & aggression on that rear profile,
and keeps up with those curves of the rear hips, while giving a salute to the RS legacy.
The fact is: Somebody’s gotta do it. Somebody’s gotta go there. The car culture’s attitude
is such that: if nobody’s done it… then that’s a sure-fire guarantee that somebody’s
in their garage doing it right now. That’s also our culture’s appeal. So realize
that amusement comes in all shapes & sizes. And just because YOU might do it differently
if it was your car — really doesn’t mean shit to anyone.
