Yes, I am very exciting about this long trip finally coming to an end. Greg Hubbs has offered to set up my pictorial garage here on the forum seeing that I have no idea how to do it. That way you and all our members will get a chance to see how everything turned out.

Everything but those tails...reminds me of the altezzas everyone puts on their GP's - can you say rice? Other than that amazing car and truly skilled work!

One week left. I leave Friday April 26, 2013 in the afternoon for Salt Lake. Will do the final paperwork, shipping details and a couple other finishing details on the car. I am hoping to see Greg Hubbs and have him do some final pix for everyone to see before I bring her back. A few more additions happened in the last few weeks - now have beadlocks on the front from OMF. And I will replace the OEM antenna with a new Shark Fin antenna painted to match the car. The hood is all one color all the vents - and that's it. My tech has plans to come to Detroit to make sure that all the calculations for the tune are correct. He doesn't suspect they won't be but for the amount of time and $$ I have invested he said he would come here for a weekend and put his laptop to it while I drive him around and show him around town - and he'd make any adjustments he thinks it might need. Tuning at 5000ft elevation is a bit different than sea level - so he just wants to make sure it's right. Hopefully he will come out within a week or two after it gets back. Short of that guys, look for last updated pix soon. Thanks for all the support and accolades these last few years. October 2008 to May 2013 - a long time coming!!

Good to hear Sam, looking forward to some pictures! The body color shark fin antenna will be a nice touch. 4 weeks to the MI Meet & Greet; sounds like it's going to be close but hope it works out for you to be able to make it!

im digging the mud stain hood vent really does looks GOOD, but the gp vents and hood latch kinda too much for my taste. just my opinion tho, but if you like it that's cool cuz it's your car and money.
