Congrats, nice car. It's a testament to all the hard work and money that went into it. Newbie questions.
1) Do you always load the car on a trailer to get to the auto shows? You don't actually drive it?
2) I noted that the liner in the front wheel well was missing. Doesn't the engine bay get dirtier because of this?

Thank you. Yes, a lot of hard work went into this build and money as well...but majority were sponsored.
1) This car has been on the trailer once in it's lifetime. That was on going to SEMA...I didn't want rock chips before the show. After SEMA, it was driven 5 hrs. to San Diego for VIPFest then I drove it 8 hours home to NorCal. I don't believe in trailering a car...it's built to be driven.
2. I liner is there, only the front portion near the front bumper is missing. No, it doesn't get the engine bay dirtier...at least for my situation.

A rolling shot going from Vegas to San Diego for VIPFest. This was the first time putting the HKS supercharger to test...going from Vegas to SD then to San Francisco.

Your LS is incredible and you drive it too! I might be wrong, but most show cars are trailer queens. Thanks for sharing bud!
One thing you might want to check out to help with rock chips and such are those carpet protectors sheets, cut to fit, and just peel right off.

No wonder it is called Endless. What did you expect??

Looks awesome, BTW. These mods are something we mere drivers can only dream of.

Your LS is amazing, one question was your supercharger sponsored or did you pay full retail?

It was not sponsored and I did not pay retail. A friend gave me a deal I couldn't pass up.
