I think they look good. There are more pics at the Soul website:

Different styles available - slash or straight and several different finishes too.

Wish Soul had some straight on pics from the back of a GTS 4.0. Otherwise, it’s impossible to see how they actually fill out the valence cutouts.

Went to the Great Plains Region PCA DE at I-29 Speedway and found all the ideas from J-Dub, blueline and others were helpful in getting me closer to the set-up I wanted for DEs and Time Trials. J-Dub the Ferodo 3.12s stop yesterday and I still have my dinky stock GTS rotors on the car. I had a student from the Des Moines area ( Joe G. ) with his newly acquired, pristine 944 and I made sure to show him the important decals on my car. Had a blast , was ripping it up on the Bridgestone RE71RSs and impressed with how long they ran strong before getting a bit greasy --- it was in the 90s yesterday. Dropping a few pics of my car, Joe and myself and Joe's killer 944 - I am sure he will be a Carpokean real soon.

PS - I used heavy duty magnetic vinyl on the Carpokes Decals and they stayed on just fine at over 125+ mph, haha!! They were go for 1.5 g's too , ha!!

Excellent results. track season is just starting up here, have two days booked next weekend! Will be running the 3.12s and RE71RS as well!

Was at NCM today. 98° or more in the paddock. The track was brutally hot too. I knew there was a reason to avoid summer track days anymore but it had somehow slipped my mind. I cannot take the heat like I once could. Lol. (Not Lol??)

Still, was a good day. I took it easy and am home now. I love home! The dogs were eagerly awaiting my return.

Filthy.

Two day track event this past weekend at Inde Motorsports ranch in Wilcox Arizona, great track.

Last weekend I flushed my brake fluid. I typically use a turkey baster or small medical syringe to remove the fluid from the master cylinder. This time I tried this large fluid extraction syringe from HF, it has a nice seal and small tubes to get the brake fluid from all three portions of the reservoir. Not required but sure made it quick and easy.

In a few weeks I will be going back to Inde again, planning to do an oil change and air filter clean next weekend in preparation.

Nice extractor and the price is certainly right!

I'll be 'bidding' farewell to my '17 CB as it goes on the Copart.com auction block. And through an unusual circumstance, it is a totaled car that still has a clear title (not salvage or rebuilt). These auctions are interesting, not only for the prices paid, but for the popularity and prices of beat-up, high-mileage trucks. Many are bought for export to Mexico and the Middle East.

My only experience with copart is the YouTube videos where the host try to buy cheap car and fix it even cheaper.

Will be watching how this does on the website link you provided. It does appear you loved that car.

A bit jarring to see my '17 CB is going to Poland.

Almost all the bids came from eastern Europe, with an extensive bidding war among Poles, Russians, and Georgians.

I was hoping to get about $17,000. Most of these vehicles seem to go for about a third of their non-wrecked value.
