Yeah. She loves the Barbera. 
It didn't help that my track spreadsheet needs some fresh tires and another set of brake pads to finish out the year. I'll slip it in before I get back on track in September though if not before then.
Thanks again - looks to be a great product. People should hopefully post up more pics soon.

Ok, so I got mine and they fit ok. Small bulge in the middle and the velco lifted due to the ambient temp. So a C-hair of shaving and forming (via heat gun) for the perfect angle and they worked great. I took them to Willowsprings and they worked fine. As a matter of fact, I had the misfortune of having to test them coming off the launch pad after some bonehead went off track and then right back on. Rocks everywhere! One, in particular, hit the pass side cover about 3 inches up from the bottom. If I was running just tape, that one would have been a new headlight. Cover worked well. It's got a good size chunck from the rock, but both it and the light are intact. I am having the divot filled and painting the cover.
Real world track test = Passed!

Cool...thats good news. have been actually trying to sneak away from work to buzz you, but my job now is kinda lame w/ pers. calls so I'm stuck to browsing for most the day. I liked your warming up solution you mentioned. I'd like to show you how mine fit sometime cause you are def the 1st one w/ the bulge....sorry how that sounds. I'm off of wilshire blvd. now during the day, maybe we could meet up and I'll bring the car up.
