Would you mind how much you end up spending and if there were any pitfalls?
Thanks.

I think the kit is 14K. Got to add tail and paint. Probably got 18k in it.

Not too many pitfalls. Big one was waiting to Protomotive to build and send me the kit. Was suppose to take 1-2 months. Ended up taking 4+. Car is a lot louder and more challenging to drive (in a good way). I also added the 996 turbo clutch and lightweight flywheel. I would do it again. The car really woke up. Night and day more fun to drive.
