Still counting down the days/weeks? Or did the kid arrive already?

Good eye! Haha. Yes I bought those wheels and tires a bit prematurely it seems. Been a big learning experience for me on the whole process involved in a project like this. Now I think its been a good 5 years since those tyres were bought. They have been well sheltered from the elements but I have a good excuse to do a few burnouts on them, plan to get Yokohama A052.

Our baby boy yet to arrive but he is coming very soon, 2-4 weeks now. With the last of the body being sprayed the goal is to let it cure fully since I will have the whole car wrapped in PPF prior to windshield going back in and the few electrical things to sort out. Just in time for winter

Thank you Leon! It is Jet Green Metallic (Porsche Paint code Z6H/J6). Very cool stuff, got little bits of silver and blue in it that you can see from some angles up close.
