Evan: Sure after all the looks nice, ... It's too damn low! I'm not kidding. It looks too low. Very nice though. Can you actually drive it anywhere that low? What's your lip at? 3"?

HEHE, good eye, its 3.25" off the ground from the center of the CF lip. I can't say if I can drive anywhere as I have only been to Orlando and back, haven't done any driving around town... Keep in mind FL is FLAT, only a few driveways that might present a problem, but nothing I can't avoid. Also the speedbumps in my school are a problem, but they always were even b4 the Techart, I just go around them on the grass .

Hey Ev,
Thanks for the compliment, but you deserve them today. Just be careful with that lip. You know what happened with the old one!! Also, you saw what happened to Luting Chen's as well. Let us know if you will be in town.

digging the black wheels matching the black tint matching the black (well dark enough) CF wing.

yellow dials are a nice touch too. awesome look in total.

Evan,

Car looks fantastic. A couple of questions/suggestions -

Will you be adding the Techart side skirts and possibly rear lower panels? The rear window spoiler is really nice too. They pull everything together nicely in my opinion.

You may want to consider powder coating the calipers yellow to finish off the look. I think that would look really sharp on your car.

It truly looks fantastic!

Evan: Gorgeous but I'm taking bets on the over under for a cracked cf splitter; I’m taking 19 days!

Tell us more about your exhaust.

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions!!!
Alex:I will PM you about the exhaust
Robert:I will not be doing the sideskirts or the rear pieces from techart. I honestly do not like them as they look "stuck on". I will be painting the lower section of the rear bumper which I believe will tie it in better. The yellow calipers are next on my list...my problem is this is my daily driver so I cannot be without it for a week while they are done... As you can see in my sig my dad just bought a Gallardo that will be here next week along with our TTcab so we will have more vehicles that I might be able to borrow.
MonsourIt will be very hard to catch, but maybe I will do a video at night and make a still from the video...probably wait for Xico though, his are more noticable due to the HUGE turbos.

What do you guys want to know about the exhaust?? I would be glad to tell anything about it!!
Regards,
Evan
PS-John D. if you are reading this...have you gotten our check yet?
