Check this out . I know it's dark in my garage and i really am awful at photography . I need Patrick . But look at this simple interior upgrade . Before and after . Keep in mind that the before pics were taken in daylight.

Pic
1) stock
2) added Techart leather non logo steering wheel
3) added aluminum shift and lever
4) painted console silver (matched to door handle) and added pedals (photo taken tonight in the dark)

I have to wait for the nicer lug bolts two more days but these are fine . Look at the Brembo peeking out beneath the C20's . In the dark .

It's hard to imaging how to improve beyond what you already had but you clearly did it! I'm so glad it all worked out for you and your team of mechanics. You're setting the bar around here on all levels. Congratuations.

Thanks . All i did was have a willingness to allow them freedom to get creative .. to push the envelope to next level .. with patience .

It was their patience too and extra time spent on detail which led not only to a great car but friendships too .

I made some great friends here on the way many of whom , like yourself -also contributed ideas and insights all of which can be seen with big smile I have with the final result.

Larry, just read the thread and I love your reaction to the changes your car has gone through. The pics look great and the interior is very clean and fresh. I really want to hear the exhaust so try to put a video up. ENJOY IT BABY!

Thanks guys -What's next ?

Low gear spending .

At least until I thaw out.
I took pics today but haven't had a chance to touch them up . Later I;ll post.

I also did a self imposed cold start up where I placed the camera on a bucket and ran to my car . I sent it to Got boost and TT dude . I don't have a youtube account but there are a few posters who I know have the cars and are sincerely curious what it sounds like .

PM me yoir e mail and I'll see what I can so .
