Dude that looks sick. Congrats on a unique TA. I just hope you never have to get a section repainted or anything.

The targa top is still removable. With it on, the cabin looks almost like an FRC Vette, I think. Also, when it's removed, you don't have that center bar anymore.

I'm buying one as soon as the fund permit it.

Looks good man, I'd have them play with the hood and bumper fitment a little more. It's tougher to get factory fitment with a lot of the fatermarket hoods out there but some small tweaks could help clean some of those gaps up.

Yah man, I need to talk to them, it doesnt really bother me all THAT much, but I would much prefer it to be tighter. I was figuring that the hood pins may take out any possibility of tweaking the hood fitment.

The color to me looks terrible. Take better pictures with cloud cover and it will look much better.. too much sun exposure.

Pretty common with most body shops it seems, unless you complain they won't really mess with it.

These guys are buds, they wont mind and will shoot me straight. So I got that going for me. Im laying dynamat now and will install interior, and fiberglass an amp rack. At that point Ill be taking the amp rack to them to be painted along with the front bumper filler and talk about the hood fitment. The bumper also sags or is pinched or something right underneath the driver headlamp.

I really appreciate all of the feedback!!! You guys rock.

Now this is how you install Dynamat! You have your wifey do it!






She works on my car while I play on the computer... lol. jk.

I like the color and all but you really need to align everything back up. Specifically on the front end look at the headlights and fog lights, they are not even close to being lined up. Keep on it and make the car stand out in a good way!
