Ok, you crack me up Zless... all reasonable points... re paint color, I'll probably pick a darker shade and definitely matte / flat luminance

UPDATES
  • Targeting weekend after next to be done with fabrication...
  • Have a paint shop lined up
  • Had a discussion with Junior today... we're working up a rear brake cooling solution that I think you guys will dig !
  • I'm going to can the APR front splitter and we'll fab up something more durable
  • The seat showed up and looks great! 1 small tear in the fabric, but otherwise a great seat that fits me perfectly... we were able to modify the Bride rails and lower my driving position by about 2 inches
  • The car is now completely prepped and the tube bending is underway!
  • I'm settled on #104 assuming NASA approves it... thanks again for the input!

We cut the sliders off the Bride rails and welded 2x1/8 in steel across them and drill your holes. It gives you about four fingers space on to of your head where before we only had two. I havent finished yet so I have no pics but I will. I guess I should also say travis is about 5 11 so plan accordingly.

Absolutely! Zero fade... Will be moving to more aggressive pads soon, and may add some venting when we do. Hit up Josh at Stillen if you want more info.

Up to Junior to post more pics right now

DDs = ISF (wife's) and a natural gas powered honda civic on skunk2s and good tires/wheels... having an alternative fuel car in AZ let's us commute in the HOV lane without a passenger, so I save like 20-30 mins each way on commute
