I had my daughter's car seat mounted in the middle of the back seat just in case I was hit on either side. I read some reports that said it was safer...Anyways congrats on many fronts! It looks like you got it all man! I wish you the best! Your son is cute as 'heck! He's going to love Dad's car when he's old enough to drive!

Thanks. I wanted to update it so people can see the changes and if they like something they can duplicate it easily whther its perormance or looks. And yeah I'm having fun with the little guy. He is a blast to have around. I like posting up because I'm proud of him and its breaks the tension My last build got to be stressful and I wanted to enjoy this one a little more. I also wanted to find a great street set up. Tuning on Wednesday so we'll see where we are at. Gonna be weird tuning on 93 octane and low boost levels

More fun stuff

Amber fogs...



Business side of things.


Not the best pic but an idea. I am bent because I have sanded this down 3 times and there is a tiny wave in the plastic. Doesnt look like a run but I didnt see it when I prepped it. But the black looks awesome in the car. Gotta hit up som COD and eat and then back in the garage. Hope I cant see the wave or I'll be doing it a 4th time. One paint I bought messed up the plastic. Almost like it burned it. It wrinkled everything. I had to really prep the whole thing and do lots of sanding.


Just got done painting the HVAC panel so it will be going back in tonight. I just bought a brand new one but its as gray as can be. So I went black... New decals and everything. Should look clean and I am removing the stock MR guage pack and installing the factory delete plate. The radio is relocated down South. Pics to come when the plate arrives. Fender tool arrives on Thursday so I have to get on that as well. Track days are approaching fast.

Nice updates man. I'm going to AWD so Derek can save my ROM ID then he can tune my car when a tuner in Cali sends his the files Derek needs then it's a go from there so I can't wait..

Thanks. I would kill to own a RR RS though Black is rough to keep clean too. But I am gradually making this an RS sort of. Rear window and wiper will be coming out soon too. I bought this car because it was a one owner low mileage car. All the RS's I looked at had 60K plus miles and like 5-6 owners This will do for now. I am anxious to get it on the scales and dyno on Wed. Hopefully she doesnt disappoint...

Very nice. Im jealous. I will definitely take vids tomorrow at AWD I just finished pulling the fenders. It wasnt too bad. More scary then anything. I bought a heat gun from home depot($22)and fender roller from Tirerack for ($259). If anyone wants to borrow them let me know. If your local I'll help you do it. I looked and asked everywhere and no one will do it due to liability. I finally said screw it I'll do it myself. Cant wait to see if it clears now on heavy bumps. I rolled them flush and pulled them slightly.
