Had a 4 inch oval exhaust built.
Shaved my console and had it all carbon skinned
Had a dash carbon skinned so the defroster plastic looked better
Bought a bash bar and used it to have my diffuser mount built.
Got the fab all done and the f430 diffuser mounted
Got the tape off of it at home and put the strakes back in place :
Figured I'd use the 2 carbon tips I already have for now.. Just sitting in place.. Muffler arrives 10/2.. Back for more fab work
So.... Yeah.. September was fkn expensive..

Thursday I changed out the camshaft positioning sensors and crankshaft positioning sensor after not being able to drive it for a month. Yesterday I got it fully detailed and filled that baby up. Then driving it, it started to buck in gears. Wasn't driving right at all. So, it's back in the shop..

After further review and taking apart my steering knuckle it turns out that's normal... Who knew. Still looks sketchy to me, but what so i know.

Getting my car ready for paint (F&R bumpers) so decided to finally do a test fit of the poly spoiler. Fits fine but I think I've decided to contiinue doing without it since I've always enjoyed the car as it sits. Also figured since I have the dark wheels on it right now, the black spoiler wouldn't be so dang obvious.
Ehhhh, I was wrong.... still way too obvious and "added on". Will have the spoiler painted at the same time as the bumper so if I decide to put it on later, it will already be color keyed. (Also going to have my guy shoot the rear spoiler I was playing with a couple of weeks ago so it'll be ready to put on if I decide to spoil myself. )
Without spoiler:
All the urethane pieces (front, sides, rear) on the car are prominently off tone!!
With spoiler:
Not horrible, not great = Ehhhhhhhh
I really should just shoot the entire car.....
In case you're wondering what that obnoxious orange sticker on the windshield is, it's the sticker they made us wear for the parade lap at Laguna a few weeks back. Looks horrible but I like looking at it when I get in the car. Haha!

Washed 'em.
They thanked me graciously and voraciously.
They even let me take a shot of their butts. Buhzillion pics of my cars, never ones from the back.
Only took 'em from that angle due to the long afternoon light washing out every other view.

Automatic transmission
I wanted to share my refresh build of my re5r0a automatic. I know there is not many of us. But here is a short list of parts that will strengthen your transmission and preform better.
Custom built stall converter
Stage 1 rebuild kit with all clutches and gaskets.
Transgo shift kit “not shown”.

For all my OCD wheel brethren out there who think it's completely normal to take off your wheels to detail them...
Wash, brush, rinse, clay bar, polish, and wax
