Congratulations.
Very Nice color combination. I don't see it very often. (Maybe 1 other time, if that)

Dead on on the colours Timothy, when I looked at the car I HATED the interior colour, bought it anyway, after 2 days I wouldn't trade the int. colour for anything...feels rich and unique to me...80k miles...in the shop now getting HID lights, WEVO (black pillow) engine mounts, clutch and a flywheel. Drilled the airbox, next is the RSR Muffler I'm hoping...then I'm done. ( i know I know)

The last thing to make it perfect - suspension. Then you can be done.

if the gta gtg was across from Sherway mall I was there about a month ago for the first time. Was surprized to see so many "vettes" there too..pretty cool. I am not going tomorrow as my engine mounts are being delivered to the shop on monday...flywheel is in..clutch being done today.
Cohare....suspension??? details, what cost (roughly), what it does? I havent read through all the posts yet and am sure i'll find tons on that but could use some hints if you have a moment pretty please.

Suspension, for sure. Options are:
- Bilstein HD shocks / Porsche ROW M030 springs
- Bil HD / H&R springs
- Bilstein PSS10
- KW V3
I reccommend one of the latter for adjustability. You can also go all out for Motons or the like, but they are very expensive.
Great color! I wasn't sure about Aventurine the first time I saw it, but have grown to really like it. Here are a few pics of mine:

TONS of suspension options: H&R springs/Bilstein HD shocks, EURO M030 springs with Bilstein HD shocks, EURO M033 springs with Bilstein HDs, Bilstein PSS10 coilovers, KW coilovers.............lots of choice with varying price. The M030/033 springs (033 lowers the car but has softer spring rates than 030) would be in the $2500-3500 range in Canadian dollars (Installed and aligned). PSS10s are great because you can adjust both height and ride. Roughly $4K CDN. KWs are apparently better yet and are, surprise, a bit more than PSS10s. Changing sway bars at the same time is a good idea.................look at all the fun we can have spending your money!!!
