Might be; I'm living off photos for now!

Looks great Rick. And even though more and more Caymans are getting track prepped, the combination of the color, the graphics, the aero and the wheels will definitely set yours apart from the masses. Nice!

Very nice!

This came out great. Can't wait to see the wheels on it.

Me too
The blue is 3M Gloss Blue Metallic; we wanted to make sure it popped on the dark silver (aka Meteor Gray) base color.

Updated photo showing car with Forgelines (and really cool Havoline car behind mine).
I'll bet many of you are saying 'jeez, go drive the thing' which I will gladly do once spring arrives.

Saw car in person last night at the Performance Friction seminar, looks better than in the pictures! There were a few "ok" cars there...

Yep Gary, Spencer always has some cool cars around. He has to hide mine when he has company.

Gary - That is so true about the great cars there; very inspiring. Was tempted to attend but its kind of a ways from Sterling. Thanks for the nice comments about my car. I haven't seen the finished product yet!
Dave - welcome home. Glad you had a good trip. I expect we can travel to Danbury on the 15th. With luck I can even haul the car back.

Car is sweet rick! One thing I would do is pull the passenger seat, that halo really blocks your vision. For DE's it's not a big deal and I can appreciate the added safety if you plan on taking people out.. Gorgeous car...
