I vote for a vinyl livery much like the flying lizard car of lemans 2007....protects the paint too. 
Looks amazing. Enjoy and please keep posting as things change/morph.
Be safe...that thing must be good to 240mph?

I have been observing the paint work on your project. Truly outstanding. I would guess you have 60 to 70K sunk into this prep and paint work.
My question is ....... do you really intend to track, or even drive it on the street, as it won't take a minute for any track or road debris to chip it if you do anything other than baby it.

Then comes the decision........
Possible paint chips...........
ooooooorrrrrrrrrrr
Unused sequential, tons of hp, RSR handling, down force and grip........

Missed mental snapshots of lockjaw from other drivers as you rip their paint off passing them so fast.

This thing will never get done at this rate. At least we are finally doing the interior! As soon as it gets reassembled at the body shop, I will post pics.

It is all completely remapped. I will post the new ratios and associated RPM for each. It is setup for a track blend of Willow Springs, Infineon, and Laguna Seca.

You will not believe this, but the truth is (including value of the car when I started) I could have purchased a Carerra GT and a 997 GT3 RS or a 997 Turbo, 997 GT3 RS, and still had enough to by an RS4 daily driver!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At this point it is inconsequential. The good news is that I cash flowed the deal and did not borrow a dime!

It is at Fast Eds Upholstery in Gardena,CA receiving new custom interior. We are hiding the cage as much as possible. Covering interior intercooler air plenum in alcantara. Fast Ed does all the Long Beach Grand Prix factory car interiors such as the Mustangs, etc. Should be done in two more weeks. Then we need two weeks to reassemble the body parts and ship back to 911 Design for final mechanical assembly and testing which will require 2 more weeks. Sounds like complete car in 2nd week of December. 2.5 years to build this damn thing!!!!!
