I looked on here for a while, but I didn't get lucky. I found this set on eBay. The guy originally got this included with a new set of wheels, but decided not to use it. I got a hell of a deal because he didn't even categorize it properly and not too many people ended up bidding.

It's been a busy couple of days and I haven't been able to do too much with the car because I am STILL waiting for it to get repaired and for the wheels... I talked to LMR yesterday and was told that the RTR's should be availible for shipping mid-to-late June... I'm just going to have to play the waiting game.

I did a couple of things though last week and this week, including these:

Clear Turn-Signals, which I purchased from JP at HTPMotorsports. They are really nice!

Also got something else:

... These are going to look awesome, and as you know they require a certain facia... :thumb:

I've been stuck at work alot so I haven't had time to work on my Saleen louvers... hoping to get some of them done this weekend, by finishing the final prep and painting them.

Well today was an interesting day. I got to work and went to check out the progress to see what has been done so far... unexpectedly some stuff happened to be put on...

I just got home a hour ago and I took some pictures. Tell me what you think.

As you know I have the RTR wheels on order, but these GT500 wheels were sitting around in the shop (customer take-offs) so they decided to put them on to see how they look.

They look pretty good, but not sure if I would like to keep them. If I did I'd get them powder coated. What do you think of them?
I did not expect the GT/CS bumper to be put on today, but it looks pretty darn good. I didn't have the bottom painted black, but textured instead... I wanted to see how it would look. Not sure if I am going to keep it that way though - the car is going back to get more done next week, including repairing the door - I may have the bottom painted.

I had an alarm system put on too. Works great!

Thanks for the compliments!

Build Update 5/26/2011

Today a lot of things have been either completed, or are a work in progress. The car is still in the shop, but I to spend some time with it and it is just so awesome!

Warning: I used my iPhone for pictures and they are not that great.


The door has been 100% fixed, looks immaculate!

Back on the ground

I got the corners painted, I found that I like this look better than the texture all around.

The brakes are a HUGE improvement! I think this was definitely money well spent. I may take the car tomorrow for the weekend, for cars and coffee in VA, and bring it back Monday when it is getting the new GT/CS wrapped with 3m protection and putting new headlights in. Still waiting for new wheels... Gosh this is so fun!

Today there was tons of performance cars in the shop while I was at work. Had 3 Shelby's getting serviced.

Look what someone even traded in... so tempting...

Minor modifications, full magnaflow exhaust, no cats, pullies, CAI, and tune.

Until next time fellas!

Very cool, the Brembos are a nice addition. The brakes are something that I plan on adding in the future.

Thanks. They need to be driven a little bit, the rotors were resurfaced so its a little screechy right now. I don't like how these GT500 wheels I have on right now hide them though... still waiting for wheels. lol.
