thanks, i don't think i'll have the inner tails tinted until after World of Wheels Atlanta, I don't want to rush the builders in any way. Let them take their time and get it done right the first time, which I have the up most confidence in Kevin and Gene

Thanks man! I appreciate the kind words! I hope it turns out great as well. Gotta start saving money to do the roof and the interior parts!

Car is looking good, man. Of course, you know I am a C/F junkie...

Ever consider skinning the center section of the roof panel? Edit: I just read your post, above I think that would look nuts! My friend Neil Tjin did the C/F thing on the roof of his old S14, it was unique and clean.

thanks again to everyone and for your kind words. I picked up the car today for roll in at the world of wheels atlanta. unfortunately we were not able to get the side pieces of the jp replica rear to fit yet so the rear spoiler is not on yet. they also didn't want to put on the roof spoiler yet since I had to drive it right away. they were afraid that it would fall of on the way to the show. so for the time being I am riding wingless. looks kinda kool to me. but it will be back at the shop monday and rolling agin to the world of wheels chatanooga next thursday! i'll have pics of the current set up by tomorrow.

why not just attach the roof spoiler when you got to the show, that you can let it set without driving.....?

It also states the shop don't want to attach the roof spoiler, well, I guess it depends on how it's so be attached to the car... if it's just tape, it should be easy for anyone to do it on site, if it's glued on, it's different then...

thanks guys for your input thus far. didn't want to put it on because I was going to drive the car. it will be taped on eventually. and I wanted them to put it on in case I messed up. try to hold the shop accountable for as much as possible.
