You're right there!

I smile each time I get in it. I just turned 31 and own my own business - work pretty hard like all business owners do. I never grew up around things like this. Lets admit it - this is a major luxury not a means of transportation. So needless to say - I am thankful in every way!

Chris is a great guy - EXTREMELY knowledgeable about these cars. Very easy and helpful to work with. Couldn't say enough good things about him or his shop. He has one of those shops you feel good in. It's clean and professional and very well put together. The 4 wheel dyno doesn't hurt either. Cool that he has it and knows how to tune.

Anyways - yeah I have some ideas of wheels. I will be posting those soon as well.

Hey, I would love to come look at them. I have something in mind - but would not be opposed to taking a look for sure.

shoot me a PM with your contact info and we will get together.

I am off to the PRI (Performance Racing Industry) show tomorrow and will be back late Sunday. So maybe next week. Where are you located?

I had to have the Sport Seats!!!!!

And yes - I couldn't agree with you more. Without them it would not be the same car. Everyone that gets in the car - thats the first thing they say - man those seats feel great!

Thanks dinorocz.

I thought they looked like a set of Champions as well. I wasn't sure if they where factory upgrade or what - need to do some more research. I did think about getting them painted - just so I could sell them easier. Still may do that.

Very cool, bro. SY is an awesome color, and looks especially great with the interior bits painted to match.

I have to agree with you about the sport seats. My car didn't come with them, but fortunately I was able to find a set with painted seat-backs - I absolutely love them.

Congrats, and enjoy in good health!!
