I have a pic here and I wanna know info...

SOOOOOOOOO nice without the roof tracks... That car looks great, but I wonder how much rubbing those front tires must do when you turn them.
 
"I dig the look without the stupid roof rack. Why is it you can't order the P5 that way? No runners, no racks...just roof!"

I actually like the roof rack and that is not an option for us in Canada. We get this POS rack that sits 4 inches off of the roof.

In th ewinter I haul stuff and I could use one so any of you guys down there that doesn't want it send it on up.
 
I heard that the roof racks are bolted through the roof of the P5's.
so if you want to remove it you have to find a way to cover up the holes.
Not to mention taking down the whole roof interior to unscrew the bolts..
:mad: sounds like alot of work.....
 
I would like to know what you guys saw that made you say it was a photoshop piece. I saw nothing that would show it as a doctored photo. I think this thread is a great example of following the crowd. One person say something and the rest follow.
If you look at the area around the car you can see that there has been no alteration. The lighting all matches up. The plants in the windows match the plants in the back ground. The shadows are all correct.
I really think you guys should take a closer look before you say something is a fake.
 
I don't think it's a photoshop image either. If it were, that person's gotta be a pro because it's a seamless image. As for the lighting, if you've ever done any photography you'd know that those weird reflections do occur naturally. That's just my opinion. I work with Photoshop for a living (graphic designer), not that it matters much. ;)
 
In Canada, the roof rack IS an option, but nobody gets it cuz it's basically useless and expensive. there are many aftermarket roof racks availble (ie THULE) and they are much more functional.
Also, i've heard the roof racks make alot of wind noise on the highway. can anybody confirm this?

As for the setup of the yellow mp5, i'm not exactly sure.
most likely the setup (when it's really slammed) is for pure showcar. i'm sure if it was driven, they would have to slightly adjust the coilovers and raise it.
i'm sure there's rubbing, but only at extreme Right or Left steering. the offset is probably deep enough so that turning won't rub the fenders.
