RE: New pics - mods please leave for a day or two
Ok.. Let's see if I can get all the replies in one..
Paulejr13 - Cervinis, actually 3 pieces. Do youreself a favor if you get it, and SCREW the snaps onto the covers and the car. The whole rivet thing? Yeah, piece of ****. Also, do NOT let your body shop bake them to cure them, have them leave them sit overnight in the booth. Baking them weakens the epoxy on the support bar underneath, and it's a bitch to get it right again. If memory serves they are like $500, then plus paint and ****.
Javdog - the convertible bar is made by Cervinis, also. It's $449, and it comes painted silver, with black vinyl that is a near perfect match to a black interior. I had my bodyshop paint it black and then put the matte stripes on it to match the rest of the car. Also, I spoke with a custom/racecar shop today, and they looked over my car. I'm getting an 8-point cage put in that will be completely hidden. The hoop will be partially inside the convertible bar, the rear supports will be hidden under the tonneau cover (I'll have to cut slots in it, but no big deal), and the door bars will be removable. $2300 canadian (I had to drive to Canada to find a shop will to do the work, go figure).
Pat123 - actually, I only took second. I lost to a BONE STOCK GT/CS.. But, such are the perils of going to a show that's judged by the public, instead of real judges..
CapitalG - I have NO earthly idea what you are talking about. Are you sure you responded to the correct thread? LOL!!
The rims are Toxic Defiance, 20x9 up front and 20x10 out back. Rubber is 255/35/20 and 285/30/20 Nitto 555. I'm not happy with the appearance (or the traction) in the rear, so I plan on switching to 305/35/20 555R's after I roast the current ones off. Should be by the end of this season.
To everyone else - thank you, thank you, thank you all for your comments and compliments. I'm really working on the whole amateur photography thing, it's nice to get such positive feedback. I'll be sure to post more pics when I take some more.
