"The aero mirrors on Kevin's car (KMY) and center exhaust on Steve's (ca993twin), Greg's (C2S), and Kevin's vehicles look tremendous."
Thanks. Greg's TurboR had a Ruf FACTORY CTR-2 center exhaust, and was the inspiration for mine. I believe that Greg's car was one of the very early Turbo R builds and fitting the CTR-2 exhaust was too complicated and expensive. His may be the only factory-installed center exhaust Turbo R in existence, but I believe the factory exhaust is off the car, and a simpler system is installed. Greg? Chime in and correct me.

No correction needed, your correct on all accounts. I still have the original CTR-2 exhaust. I thought about putting it back on the car, but when I met with the original owner at my place he liked the sound as well and thought I should leave it as is. I'm told it's quite a bit lighter. Protomotive build the exhaust that currently is on the car now. I've read that the reason the third owner replaced the exhaust was that he didn't like the sound at 2k/3k RPM, a bit of a drone. I might someday put it back on to hear the difference. Maybe I should put the original back on and leave it on? Any thoughts are welcome.

Enjoy Mick! I am sure it will be a blast to make the car exactly how you want it. Your white car with black wheels will look MEAN!! I hope you manage the wait time as all the mods are getting implemented ...
I just took a quick trip to my tech where the car is - bumpers and A-pillar kit have been fitted along with Techart fog light / air ducts. There still is some mechanical work to be wrapped up before I get the car back so I figured I'd take a sneak preview of the work. Iphone pic attached (sorry for low-quality).
Enjoy the car and hopefully we meet one of these days for a ride in CT / RI area.

Good call on swapping the red seat belts as well. I think it will fuse the look of the interior elements. Keep posting the pics !
