Thanks! Just had her out for a drive before the shore traffic starts up. I'm considering the black lettering, but read some where that the spray peels in time? Love the look of that diffuser!!

Beautiful car! As to exiting the car, I'm 6'2" and weigh 205. Here's my technique- after you open the door put your left hand on the door sill. You can now use your left arm as a brace to exit the car.

Very tough to beat GT silver and SD bodykit. Well done, NJ. Now you need to take some great photos like aljaberh! Wish I could have ordered my 50th in that colour. Yes, that would defeat the purpose. Yes, that would be hawt.

Thanks Charcharius! Agreed, photography is certainly not my strong suit, ha! The fact that my best, and only, camera is my iPhone is probably pretty telling of that.

We have a friend that's a hobbyist turned professional in photography, and we're trying to get a date on the calendar for a shoot.

Your car is stunning. Love, love, love the GT silver and I think the red accents are awesome (I have the red belts in mine). Enjoy it and drive it in good health. Just wait until you pass your break-in period . . .

Thank you Ronole! Building a car from swatches isn't easy, but I am happy with end result.

GT silver is such a great colour, photos don't do it justice

Thanks cheeky! Yes, definitely worth the wait : )

Still a bit surprised by what little visibility, communication, and control there seems to be during the transit, since I am in that field. I intend to inquire further on it with their folks in Atlanta to determine how accurate the information I received around that is / was. I mean, I can track / control / divert parcel shipments worth $10, but not a 6-figure car?

Agree Olly, I've not yet seen any photos that really capture the depth of the color. I spent most of the day Saturday working with the paint, and it's truly amazing how it reacts to different light conditions and products.
