Default My car is painted

I finally have some pics of my car, as it is just being put back together and the interior is being started. There are still some things that are being put back on the car and the wheels are being made so no I won't be leaving the stockers on there. The gills on the hood are still cf, I'm putting on GT Style CF mirrors and I have cf B-pillars.

I've had mine for a long time and it kind of sucks that Mastergrade went out of business but it helps ensure that I won't see another car like mine out on the road or at a show. The first shop who put it on messed up then I sent it to NJ for the "First Targa Top" where the guy tells me 5 months later that he isn't going to touch it until he has 10 people putting deposits on a targa top kit. Now it is in the good hands of Arthur Williams and Chris Bostick at Frederick Nissan.

yea it's at Frederick Nissan. it should have about a 5" front lip and a 6 to 6 1/2" rear lip.
The Targa isn't forgotten at all but I wan't to make sure that the car is retains it's driveability and is structurally sound which will be easier b/c I'm having a custom full roll cage put it. The car will have the Z bar cut out, as well as the plastic stuff where the cubby hole is. We are thinking about making a motorized targa top holder that will take the targa top under where the amps will be which is where the cubby hole would be.

I have the specs on the wheels in my e-mail somewhere but they were the specs for when HRE was offering me a sponsorship and we went with Work Meister wheels for now which have different specs as I went with different widths, so I don't have the specs for them. I know they are 11" fronts and 12.5" rears though. I got custom offsets and all for a really good deal but I have some sponsorship offers so we'll see what wheels are on there for the shows and what not.
