I appreciate the effort J but I'm so used to seeing pictures from your DSLR that I'm a bit disappointed with those pictures

DUDE, do you wanna talk about a WTF look on my face?!?! Your move, smarter and much cooler Rockstar, was well played, my friend. You GOT ME!!!! 
Not to mention, similar post count and similar start date at AZ.
LOL...you noticed!
About your previous post, thanks Austin...
Thank you Anil! I love it too, man!
SUPER disappoint in those phone pics, man! I need to start rolling with my DSLR all the time!

+1 ^ The silver/black/blue combo is pure greatness.

Why thank you boys...I was SOOOO tempted to try and match the blue, I really felt like I'm on the verge of being overkill with the matching. 
I DID test out though and the silver is a perfect base for the metallic anodized blue spray paint.

I don't like looking at your thread anymore, J...it makes me super jealous of your car. Did I mention that the exhaust sounds good as fawk? I actually hooked my computer up to my sound system for my TV just to get the full effect.

Since you've dropped the name down to just Stickers, I'll oblige!
Thank you very much, Stickers! That was a very nice thing to say to me, man. I do love my car and putting all that love into it and it's really gratifying that others feel that it's nice too. Never gets old...
PS, about the exhaust, if you were local, I'd love to let you hear it, but with batch 1 of full production coming very soon, I bet someone around you will have it. I have to admit I'm excited to turn the key every single time and almost HOPE to have to make a run to the grocery store.
As with the stock exhaust...when it's hot is when it sounds the absolute best, after a little cruise home from work on the highway, the last 5 minutes of low rpm and downshifting is absolute perfection. The exhaust is what I wanted, noticeable and fun at low rpm but almost nonexistent when highway driving.

Let me know when you're ready to sell those lugs, J. Pretty sure they'll match my upcoming caliper color PERFECTLY.

dude...I WISH we had a second. We orginally thought of using Holly to have a litter, then keep one for myself. But the breeder we got her from (world class service dog breeder, mostly police use) and her husband said without having med history of the stud we would end up spending 3x her cost on vet bills.
I want puppies.
Here's a PS picture of her last year and as a 2 mo old puppy back in 08

If I powdercoated mine, it'd be a nice teal color or something of the sort.
But after seeing how well a well prepped, sanded caliper looks painted, I don't see why I wouldn't just go that route.

About my tips...1/2 the fun in owning this car is coming up with new and creative solutions. I'm sure I'll do this too.

I know it! Thanks, Sean...naw...I am going to leave them silver, something about it looks very industrial but clean. They trick is black wheels! They look pretty clean most of the time unless it's been 2 weeks since a carwash. Thank you for your next post that I didn't quote btw. Very kind!
Thanks GP! I do have to admit that I love it very much!
