Also, is there any reason they didn't extend the custom floorboard to the base of the accl pedal? The cutout seems odd, will drop your heel more compared to the hinge of the pedal.

Nice build! I'm just being picky
And 15% off now through 12/25, use code 1225

Just because it's a holiday week doesn't mean you should take the build week off!

True that - but Spencer needs to get customer cars ready for Sebring and I am happy to step aside (though he may be working on mine - I haven't checked in).

Now that's holiday spirit.
I may be going down soon to pick up my trailer so I can clean out the garage. I'll let you know and maybe we can make a road trip to see your car.

So many possible answers to that question - what exactly does 'yours' refer to?

Getting close - suspension and brakes, interior, front splitter, data acquisition, and YES the livery. Was the hardest part, but Dan Porter of Utopia Design/MagnaGrafik was magnificent in helping me through the design. See the upper design in the attachment.
2 sets of Forgelines in satin silver on the way.
Rear wing in process.

Why put "Supercup" on it? It's kind of like putting "917" on a 911......

Okay.....if you liked the graphics from a "Corvette" race car would you put the word "Corvette" on your car if the graphics included that word?

A Cayman with the word "Supercup" on it is going to be a little odd.....but hey, it's your car!

Thanks; appreciate that.
Curious what you think about all the Cayman Interseries cars using historic livery.
