Ohh..nah I'll be holding on to that one as well (but I'll let you know if I do decide to part with it)

Anyone have a Hamann Style front lip for sale?

Congrats! Car's looking really good. My only question is why you're choosing to paint the roof JB (which will scratch over time; JB is a ***** to keep from getting ripped up over time) rather than just go with a good quality CF roof?

You may also want to talk to Tom at EAS to go with 100% CF roundels throughout and all around the car.

Wouldn't I lose my sunroof if I went CF? Or do they have the kit that could include the sunroof?

The main reason why I am painting it black rather than CF is that when it gets scratched over time I'll strip the paint down and re-shoot it. The CF is a big process and by having a paint and body shop I can do the paintwork much easier.

CF looks great...but I like the Panoramic look of black just as much

I have two complaints:

1) your shop is too far away to stop by and see the work in action
2) i feel impatient and want to see more pictures!

Nice work. Thanks for sharing!
