tack the front end down a little (front clip) it's higher than the hood on the car.

otherwise, alignment of body panels and fitment look pretty good.

sure it's too low.... but then since when did ride height matter when you are un*withable?

also: you need to get the headlight covers done in yellow. you know where to go for the adhesive protective covers

going to do RED inserts in the seats to match the wheels?

I think he said those were temp wheels, so I would imagine not.

you all can see from that close front picture of the side car and look at the lower lip...that is ONE DAY, so the car is TOO LOW to drive on the street.

panels are getting done...as i said at 9pm at night you are pretty beat, but we know what to adjust and it will be perfect!

Thank Phoenix...that car looks great too! I wanted to keep the lithronics, but that did create a whole new can of problems with the fenders and panels since they are set to take some basic lexan covers...

PJ: I would love to do the track day, but I do not think the clear bra will be done in time so I can't take it out till then

Luis: thanks buddy! Just wait and see how it comes along

I am still waiting for my new winshield

Bruce's car looks particularly great from the rear view mirror. Nothing like it on the road. It scared my children.

no one else will have one..... and with Bruce driving it..... you'll never catch up with this car on the track. no personal knowledge but apparently car and driver do quite well together. can't wait for the in-person visual.
