yeah man first off mad props are due, second all i gotta say is that you must have spent some major coinage from that parts list you threw up at the top of the page...? congrats on such a big and awesomely successful project.

Very cool pics, thanks for sharing...ah so that's the story on the donor car, otherwise I was wondering if it were possible to do a 04 to 01 conversion on the other car.

Yeah, Gato's car was rearended, and he was selling the car as parts car. I believe Junjdm got a very good deal with Gato...
Gato, are you selling your OEM 18's

Fantastic job. I'm loving the Porsche exhaust tips. Clean and subtle. I may have to steal that idea from you
