The interior dash and console are going to carbon fiber, to knock off the edge of red. Wheels are going to be black satin. Mirrors are going to be vitiloni californian mirrors kept black satin. The Firechicken mirrors are history.

Wow, nice ride. I like the color. How did you do the upholstery? Attention to detail really pays off.

First off Teener Brothers Thank you. Now off to the answering the questions.

I learned how to sew on the machine via a few lessons from the Mrs. After that she was darn glad I didn't ask her to help. " I cussed A LOT" until I was done.

Fitment is very good on the kit, I went with the black. The seller has a few other colors as well. I'm making my own cluster face from a sheet of carbon fiber as the kit doesn't come with one. Not sure why?

It was just raised up about two more inches. Now I can just clear speed bumps HeeHee

Are you putting the wing back on? I really like it without. You interior is much better now - the red was a bit much on the dash. I like the carbon it suits the car...

I decided I liked the wing and put it back on.

You are so very right on the red dash. I just went a bit nuts in the beginning trying to find the right look. It has been a long strange trip.

Damn glad its over. the car is done.

Justin I would love to have some wheels like that. However, I don't want to spend the
cash for the five lug conversion, then another bunch for tires and wheels. I would like to outright sell or trade this car for a 550 that is either almost finished or completed. I'm sure there is a deal out there somewhere. I'm out to find it.

You also have a Rayco 986 kit installed.
If you would like to make your side ducts functional let me know. I have a template that you can use and then get a dremel in there and cut it out. I then have a mesh template that can be used to insert behind the hole. Then you can get some flexible black hose to port over to your intake or the brakes. It isn't hard, just a wee bit tight for the hands to get to the back of the scoop. Once done it makes a world of difference. I also noticed that you used projection lights in the holes in the grill area. I did the same. I found that 2000 GM and up lights fit perfectly in the holes.


Nice car by the way! Lets see some more if you get a chance.
