Why? Wrap could cost near if not the same as paint... a R35 was wrapped here and it cost around $4k!!!

Thanks for the props guys... can't wait to get on the track next week!

How long did your paint job take?
I need my car everyday since its my DD. A wrap only takes about a day of work! I might consider paint though....I hate when the door jams are a different color.

That's true. There was a vendor at BOS that did vinyl wraps. Out of curiosity, I asked approximately how much it would be to wrap a 2GS in satin black vinyl. He said around $4500!

There will be videos soon we're just buttoning up the rest of the car before she gets the 5/50/100 test. Stock gauges work fine with the LS1 and yes I'm using a Tremec T56.

I don't know if there is a ProAM at FD next weekend... it will be hard parked in the Falken booth. I'm shaking it down at Buttonwillow the day before I drop it off at FD though so I'll have some vids/pics hopefully from that day.
