Car is still at the shop - elected to scrap the matte black/matte blue stripes. Instead we're doing and have done 95% of the below:

Interior:
Seats remolded to appear more 507-like with high shoulder/side and leg bolsters
Seats - Porcelain leather/black suede inserts w/white quilted stitching
Headliner – suede w/white quilted stitching
Dash - rewrapped in new black leather and white double-French track stitching.
Door panels - wrapped in porcelain leather. Black suede inserts w/white quilted stitching. White double-French track stitching over the porcelain.
All 4 nitrous and 4 NANO bottles painted porcelain pearl
Rear deck (where n20 bottles sit) – Black suede w/white quilted stitching allllllll throughout.

Exterior changes:
Body – Sikkens Deep Black (a high-end show quality black)
Wheel faces - painted matte black (like the 507)
Calipers - painted House of Kolors – Fire Candy Red pearl (custom mix) – Black “trans am” and firechicken logo
Fog Lamp Halos and license plate bird light – changed from icy blue to White

Nav/infotainment/electrical:
2014 Kenwood Xcelon top of the line whatever screen thing
300 Amp alternator
Couple other odds and ends.

Only matte pics I have before we scrapped it:




new iteration inspiration - my 2014 MB C63 AMG "Edition 507":

Always liked this car/build. Keep us updated on it when it gets going again. Makes me want to flair my 1/4s everytime I see it!

Thats a whole lot of work to scrap and start all over but that's what car guys do, right?! Looks sharp everytime you change it man. Can't wait to see the latest revision. Do you guys ever make molds so you can sell those fender flares?

Ah damn, just saw the part about no flare molds. If you ever change your mind on that part I'm still down for a set.

I saw some side pics of this car somewhere and thought it was amazing. One of the reasons I recently bought a TA and got out of Lexus and Audi Builds
