How the heck did I miss those light pictures of the hood...awesome, Aaron. I really love it. I really wish you weren't such a photo amateur with no camera. Things are cruel...I am a picture whore, but ain't nobody wanting to see MORE pictures of my POS anymore...and you have one that everyone wants to see and you're fkn stingy as fk with the nice pictures!

PS...I know your plan now to keep the vultures. You picked a color even a vulture wouldn't want to stand on and pigeons wouldn't want to shit on. Good call!

i know i know...i always get confused with that.

went to the great falls meet in NOVA this past weekend and wanted to update my thread with some pics that were taken by members there. thanks for the pics everyone, i really appreciate it. too bad it was so murky and foggy outside, maybe we'll get some sunlight at the next meet.

Tyler, your pictures are tight, bro. That car looks amazing in person, I'm sure. I dig the wheels/purple on white calipers. Looks awesome.

Two MUSTS:

1) what she said
2) fix that brembo caliper applique

(and I agree with Steven, the CF hood is not structurally sound enough to hold up that svelte beast of a dog!)
