Thanks guys!

I'm no photographer (like ACS-3) but here are a couple of the inside -- the 1st is a "before" shot from the dealer. Since have added XM, alum pedals, painted fuse panel (not sure I like it), painted overhead, rearranged all the climate and radio controls, 3 spoke wheel, ultimate cupholders, Flash2Pass, SSK.

Mike

Thanks for posting the pictures! The car looks great, the before and after are the best I've seen for selling me on the aero kit.

Here are a couple of shots from the rear -- before and after.

BTW - the nose and side skirts are OEM. The rear wing is a Mashaw GT3 V1 that I got from Dan@vividracing.com

thanks Sandoval!

Sandoval and Tim W came over last weekend and we pulled the calipers. Sandoval powder coated them in red and rebuilt them. We put them back on the car yesterday along with the SS brake lines. Wow! Love the results. Thanks Sandoval -- great job. He also helped me out with some 7mm front spacers and crests for the center caps. I've attached a couple of pics.

Yup. I just peeled the old decals off, cleaned it up with WD40, and washed them well. Then used double sided tape to attach the new crests -- might do something else/additional later but the thin foam double tape seems top hold well.

thanks for all the help!

There is that little trim that goes on the spoiler to finish it off. I think it makes a difference. Very nice. Thanks for the updates.
