Steering wheel came in and Chris@C2Design said it is top notch in person. The TCU is getting reworked.

Made an executive decision and went full carbon on the side mirrors...and upgraded to Gen2 (2009 and up...mines a 2008).

Thank you sir...

More pics...

Steering wheel...(air bag still not secured in place yet so that is why there is a gap next to the CF trim piece)...

Behind the door panel...sweet sound.

Redwine...all the separates are Hertz with amplification by Hertz. The front sub is stock but powered with a Hertz channel. The rear sub is a single JL 13" flat sub and has a dedicated amplifier to power it.

Nice! You know your stereo too I was going to do the same sub but then opted for 2-JL Audio 10 flat and Dynaudio curious to hear your thoughts on the Hertz

Saw your car in his shop last Wednesday. Will swing by tomorrow or Thursday to check it out again. Think you know Keith Saunders as well, who's a mutual friend. Seemed to know you pretty well and your various builds we have both seen in Chris shop.

Hundreds of details going around our heads...

- Center console CF was literally in the oven when I called
- Some timing issues with the top movement but that will get sorted
- Fitment of the Speedster cowl and base for it
- Floor mats getting finalized
- Full carbon side mirrors will arrive on Monday and Tuesday of next week
- Too many other things to list down and its been a long day...

Rear part of the exterior is coming along nicely...just needs the Turbo logo





Brembos and wheels are on...
