I must say , top notch work right here . Car is simply beautifully and tastefully done . I see you have a tweaked harness . Were their any issues with their work . In the recent past some people were having quality control issues with their harness

I agree, Jimmy's car is a work of art.

It's even nicer in person!

That Tweak'd harness is mouthwatering! Sorry, I have a weird obsession with nicely done wiring...

Yup. I had lots of issues with mine when I had them make it several years ago when doing the GTE swap. Was pretty damn disappointed considering how much they charge and how specific I was when ordering. I had to modify it in many areas and eventually made my own when going single with Proefi. My dad is an electrician and he was horrified at their work, he said "why the F did you not just ask me to build you a harness?".

Spoke too soon. LOL Never knew this about their work. I've always had them in my bucket list.

Thanks guys! At full disclosure I have to say that I did have a few issues with my tweak’d harness. I was able to overcome all of the issues and Cam at Tweak’d was awesome to work with over the phone. It was a lot of money for the harness so I did expect it to be perfect and it wasn’t. I am not disappointed with the quality of materials used though. I would recommend them and would use them again.

Jim, your SC takes the cake! And then some! I love the attention to every detail you've put into it and yet the end result is very straightforward and elegant. Has it been out front at your dealership? If so I wonder what the reactions are like.

I'm sorry to hear that you too had a few issues with your Tweak'd harness but it sounds like Cam was on point helping you resolve them. In the past I have heard of people having initial issues with theirs and this did give me some pause from using them myself. Everyone seems to agree their materials and workmanship are high quality but I agree with you-- for the high cost of a Tweak'd harness I would expect it to be near perfect the first time I got it back even if that meant that the QC took a bit longer before its ready for delivery.

I wish I could see car your in person! I believe Dmitry when he says pictures do not do it justice
