Thanks guys! We haven't gotten the full weight yet. Which is very frustrating, trust me. But hopefully soon.


You're not ready for this... Hell, I'm not ready for this!!

They are sanding the clear off the Seibon doors, then re-spraying a matte finish to match the legit dry carbon hood and trunk we have!

Show Car = Race Car!










Oh, yeah... the lip is next!!


Fuel and Oil lines are done!

Brakes and suspension... check!

Almost ready for lift off.

The doors look AMAZING!!!!! As does the front lip!!

We just launched the new website layout, and I'll have a (luckily) very short list of things to fix, then I'll get some more pics of this up! And the purple wire...

Seriously, most people do this process and trailer it to indoor shows... we are going to go rip down the track!!

We got the compressor cover back from Justin at Detective Coating to match the valve cover and it looks mean!!

The wiring is coming along... slow but sure. I don't envy that job.

But the purple wire is cool.

The sanded and satin-cleared carbon doors are on the passenger side with lexan installed! I am banned from taking full-on shots of the car until after the shootout! So you'll just have to wait.

And... yeah. Getting kinda tight on time with 9 days left, but we are on schedule

I just dont know what to say....its just too well executed. Amazing job, could we please get a few in car shots from the backseats with the Racepac on and the gauges functioning or not.

Goodluck STM

So excited to see the final piece of art when its complete and yes this is art!

Looking forward to seeing what this does at the shootout as well!

Great work and amazing attention to detail as always! Wish I didn't live on the opposite side of the country to have you guys work on my car

Don't have a shop local to me that can touch your guys quality. I am jealous...
