We could put her in the middle and have a white SC sandwiched by two black GS's. Like an oreo in a manner of speaking. Hey, if your lookin' for someplace local to install those remaining items, give L.C. a holler. He did a nice job on the steering and suspension for the SC and then last week he did the GS's X-cross drilled rotors, Metal Master pads and braided stainless steel brake lines. He threw in painting the calipers for free!
Actually L.C. is next on the list for the brakes. =) I've been meaning to get over there but the body shop took 2 weeks instead of the quoted 4 days so that pushed some things back. Glad to hear things went well w/ L.C. He seems like he knows his stuff.
I'm sure there will be a few people interested in caravaning down to EOS from here. I'm not sure if I'll be leaving from here or my g/f's place though. If I'm up here I'm definitely interested.

Thanks for the compliments folks...

looks really good, once your lights are put in it will look awesome, the only thing i might change is the spoiler, change the explosion for the jp one and it would be over.

Looks sharp- I also noticed you blacked-out the window trim- very sinister, especially on a black car.
I would smoke the taillights, too. Pure evil!

I like the Explosion spoiler- how is the fit?

I got a quick peek at these in the gallery last night, looks nice, very dark!

Looks like it may be time to go to the next phase on wheels, maybe something black 20" staggered??

Nice job bud

maybe something iForged? (ha ha) thanks D. and great sales pitch bro.
new wheels are on my mind but will be a while. i just finished the custom interior for the Stealth TT and more go-fast parts are piling up. shooting for some nice awhp with the rebuild.

Andy, still a couple touches to finish off the rear and I'm hoping they're done in time. how are things coming with yours?

fit is very good for the rear spoiler. i went with just the 3M adhesive at first but decided to have them drill two holes for it when the car went back in. smoked tails? hmmmm.....(ha ha) i'm actually working on something for the inner tails. =) thanks SoCal.

Car looks great!

I am not a huge fan of the grill, but with the kit it, it looks very good. I prefer the OEM DIY grill. Although I would have went with a chrome L on the hood, just the fact that it is there sets the whole car off and apart from others. Thats just my opinion...Overall ecellent

Default Thanks...

Thanks guys.
So Henry's back from a 2-week hiatus. I KNOW you have some stuff up your sleeve. I wanna' see what you have going with that grill but I suspect you're going to make us all wait until EOS? Or the LMW appointments. (ha ha)
Thanks again, jd
