Great build that looks better in person. Those BBS just put it over the top.

Amazing build. Did you ever consider sunroof delete when doing almost everything else?

Great thread.

That image in post 1 is really nice.

Yes I did and looked into what it would take to do, but I actually dont mind the sunroof, and I didnt want to introduce the possibility of issues that could occur by doing it.

man I'm impressed you found a shop that matched metallic paint well. I have yet to find a single shop that can do it right, even if it's 4-5 star rated on yelp. Next up 3.9L or 4.0L?

Also subscribed, love these kind of builds. Do you mind sharing what your interior plans are?

I'll be finishing up part 1 and posting part 2 (interior) in the next couple days. Part 1,2, and 3 were all completed a little while back, just playing catch up actually posting this build.

I did the sunroof delete a few years back. It's a very straight forward swap using all OEM parts. The biggest expense is the headliner but you can usually find those from gutted 6GT3 track conversions. It's an awesome mod that saves 27 lbs from the highest point on the car and gives you an extra +1" of headroom. I did a write up on it 2 or 3 years ago.

Yep I read your write up on it. Came very close to doing it but opted not too and went a different way to get a little more headroom. Had I been doing all my body conversion stuff when I had gutted the interior then I probably would have been more likely to do it. But since I had did my interior before starting on the body stuff, I didn't want to remove everything again.
