Matt,

Looks like you can get some extra storage space with the door panels off - that license plate seems to fit there nicely!

Tarett toe control arms (with spherical bearings) are in, as well as ERP monoballs for the kinematic arms (thx Steve ). Corner balancing was fine tuned and alignment dialed in - the rear end feels absolutely alive. Nice to have some better feel back there. Will post rear suspension pics asap.

CF hood and engine cover are being clearcoated this week, plan for weekend install along with a Rothsport shifter.

For those having a careful look, RS drop links are in the garage and RS sways are pending....

Hey Louis, it will only be 6 more months... right?

Morning pic: I have new respect for body guys. The hood was relatively simple to install and align, but the engine lid was a b*tch - lots of shimming and repeated adjustment. As good as it gets....

Hood and lid are much lighter - I had to remove all the gas struts to avoid getting whacked in the face.

The carbon fibre blends into the blue really well. Nothing like the ricer cars.

You should go with the RS black carpets for the interior to match it. Keep the pics coming!
