Looks great! I like everything but the Gran Sport fender stripes, those are completely pointless on anything other than a Vette, IMO. But It looks like they're not there in another pic, so maybe you removed them?
Anyway, the interior looks terrific, I really like the CF and the white guage faces.

Wow! Thank you everybody for your great comments. It means a lot to me.
So I got the CF from here
But the link that TooFastTA sent out seemed decent as well.
The Grand Sport stripes I know are a love it or hate it type of look. I always wanted to put stripes on the car, but I believe the stripes that go over our hoods and roofs don't go very well with our ws6 hoods, our hoods are just too complex. I think however they look great on cars with flat hoods though. So that's why I opted for the grand sport stripes.
I don't have any pics of the motor, BUT I do have some ideas how to clean it up that hasn't been done before, so I'm going to do that and then post pics.
The seats I had put on at local upholstery shop. Even though I ordered these for my seats, their were still some "custom" work that needed to be done because they were not a perfect fit. I believe the seat covers cost me 400, and probably about 500 to have installed. I REALLY like them though. I also did the door panels, but I just had it match the black. It's not perforated.
There are a lot of upgrades to the car, but I'll make a full list later.
The Super Charger and the Paint cost me the most. The paint job on the car was about 4,500, which was on the cheaper side of many quotes I had received. They took all the panels off, and the paint is guaranteed for as long as I own the car. This paint job came out beautifully, and am very happy with it. WELL worth the money.
I'll try get some more pictures up, so you can see the stance better. But it might take me a little while.
Thanks!

Thats cool...I've been looking for another company that does interior trim pieces and it seems that the company you provided (2000 Formula Man) utilizes a "dip" process to get the patterns onto the interior pieces! The link to the company I provided does roughly the same thing, a little more in depth and costly; though I might have to go through the company you provided! I'm def gonna email them and get a quote as to how much it will cost to do what I'm wanting to do.
Thanks for the heads up on another option!!

2000FormulaMan would you mind telling us how much it cost to have all your stuff done...
Since there was about 20 guys that wanted to talk to them... It would save them a few of
the exact same emails...

very clean and classy!
One little thing- the cupholder cover- I think it might look better being carbon-fibered also so it blends in with the center console.
but again, a great job!

Hey Guys,
Honestly, the pieces were done about 3 years back, and I have no idea what they cost. I believe I thought it wasn't too bad though. I know that doesn't help at all, anyways the prices probably have changed since I've had it done.
