Hey, you have some decent mods...but uh, paint is usually done WAY before any of the stuff you added. I always wondered what was the point of having a bunch of new stuff attached to a car that looks weathered? That exhaust has to go though...get an Ansa for yourself and get out of ghetto mode. You drive a classic car with a legacy and heritage that should be maintained! Just a suggestion, of course.

I am curious, you stated that the rims are 17" Panasports bought through International Auto Parts...but I dont see 17" Rims listed ANYWHERE on IAP's website or catalog. Trust me, I looked! Are you sure you didnt mean 15" Panasport rims? Here is the link to their Wheels page so you can let us know because something isnt jiving!

If they are 17" rims...what is the offset and did you require/use spacers? And if so, what size spacers did you use in mm? See, these cars shouldn't ever go past 35mm offset and I dont know of a single 17 rim that gets within 5mm of that. Therefore, you are stressing your rotor studs and could KILL yourself driving because the stress on your bolts is excessive and could snap them down I95. Who am I though, just another Alfa enthusiast in the end?

Anyways, come see my Alfa Romeo when you can and feel free to comment on the mods I have had performed...

Hi, thanks for being the first to sign my guestbook. I like the Panasports on your Spider. To answer your question about rocker panels, you can use the long replacements that include the lower part of the rear fender, but they eliminate the original vertical factory "seams" and aren't as heavy-duty as the OE-type replacements. IAP carries both kinds. It's like any other car; a lot of work to do it right. Cheers!
