Haha. 4 month bump! I'll get some tonight. I was gonna wait til I was finished with the exterior minor things. I'm beginning to think it will never be finished, though.

I'm wondering how your opinions will be now with the cf version of the midwing. (not that it matters )

Sweet ride!! Wasn't it fun driving up to Big Bear? I went up on Tuesday, but had to take the 18 instead of the 330 (construction). It's a lot longer, but if you have time to spare it's MUCH more fun than the 330

see I'm not the only one that thinks color-matching is a good idea. Especially when you're not getting a CF hood.

trust me, that was the original plan. i asked the body shop to do it and they said no . I've been lazy about it, especially since the adittional CF/black accents. It's not like CF is that far off of SGM's shade of grey.

CF hood = I see no point. The hood is aluminum.

Yeah I know...CF hood is just a "looks" thing...doesn't save any weight.
