Few more things on. Heres the new tint: Suntek Carbon series 35%. Will take another picture on a brighter day.


And visors, pillows, curtains. I like how much darker the curtains make the cabin even when strapped back. Still have to fix the door gap. It's a little wide between the front and rear door on the driver side.

I'd really like the chrome trim around the CC ***** and around the speakers. Also, whats that chrome strip separating the 2 grays? Is that the same thing people use to accomplish the chrome body stripe the 2GS has?

After seeing the CF bpillars, Im guessing you made the wood grain trim for around the head unit? Im going to get a in-dash screen soon and will need a custom wood grain trim peice for it. OEM color though.

hi - the chrome is a 3/8" or you can use 1/4" trim molding. the speakers are tricky to do. and you have to manufacture and joining piece from alum. the pictures i took don't do it justice, it looks pretty good. but i am having trouble with some pieces LHD v.s RHD and have to redraw most of it.

the shifter we made in the shop from ash. it's solid wood and works great!

New mod, finally upgraded the stock rears to TT's. Braking feels alot more even/smooth now.



Baby oil does wonders on yellow'ed headlights (mine aren't too bad but it helps alot) for a couple days



And just a random shot I snappedd while waiting at the store.



Aristo bumper is sitting in garage needing some work, HIDs are ordered next week, New steering rack then 2 tone interior

I bought it all brand new (re-manufactured calipers) for 1100. I know thats alot but I figured with brakes, why not, and I did it so sudden, I didn't really look around for deals. Did the same with the fronts, but I got slotted rotors and the total was 1300. SS lines all around as well.

After they've been put on, Im happy with the results so money well spent in my mind.
