RE: My New PJ Saleen (PICS)
Chuck, they are clings (easy on / easy off). Mark at GP.com made them for me. I am still trying to find a place that can make the originals (1970PJ)from scratch and is willing to do 2 to 4 of each. For now I made I had clings made of ones that the artwork was available. I have a few more coming including the American Flag.

Chuck!
I told you so. The car looks perfect now. Just like the prototype/press car.
Congrats! She looks awesome. So jealous. Do you think my wife will notice if I trade in her Escalade on a new PJ. There are 5 new ones at Rancho Santa Margarita Ford out here!

.....like Marcus said, looks just like the press/prototype, badass!! Night and day difference but not out of place by any means.
Marcus, your wife would notice the PJ in the garage, but would she really care??
Lastly, how in the hell did we let this thread slip all the way to the third page?? Unexceptable Chuck!! [>:]

Let me know if the OG 1970 decal thing comes to fruition. I would be interested in that!
06 + s351, thanks for the compliments - 06- your barricade is just plain mean!

RE: My New PJ Saleen (PICS)
Thanks for the bumpo Jazzer,
The sportlines have worn in over the last month. I've also been driving a LOT more often to work with the PJ. I'm enjoying it - have put an extra 1k miles in a pretty short time, so I'm up to 7k total.
As far as the sportlines, I thought the ride was going to feel the same as the Saleen springs, but it turns out the ride IS more rough - did I say rough? Well there isn't another word for it, so yes. I'm O.K. with it because the driving I do is mainly highway, but God help me if I lived on a country road somewhere in BFE. I would need a kidney belt.
Now for the important part - handling. The PJ Watt's works as well as it did. The back end stays put - but again, the more rough ride can cause some searching if you hit some rough pavement mid-turn. I don't know if this happened before the sportlines went on, or if I'm just connecting it to the sportlines because I'm so aware of bumps. The car is still VERY stable in the twisties... Not GRIGGS stable (nod to Jazzer) but better than anything short of that standard. I've got more neg camber in the front which keeps her poised for turn-in, flat at the apex, and connected to shoot out the other end.
I also put the Pioneer Z2 double din system in for GPS Nav / DVD's / onboard hard drive..... Nice.
Cheers all!
I think I'll pimp this old worn out thread until it gets to 20 pages and let it slip into sweet oblivion...
