I cant rememeber when I saw that clean of interior of grey. Thats what mine looked like until I saw Scotturnot interior's, then on with the transformation to black and grey. Car looks clean, and good luck with your build.

Very clean interior. btw since your looking at 500whp. why didnt you just keep the 6sp tranny. I understand selling the gte motor because it looked like a hack n slash job and your last car looked mistreated badly with interior/exterior wise so i understand why you got rid of it. Was the 6sp bad also because it would be perfect for your power goals with this one, or you just going go R154?
