Thank you so much guys. Its been a pain with all the shop time but well worth it. Now that I am pretty much done on the outside we are trying to solve a problem with air temp as it got to high doing the dyno run and thats with a Renntech Intercooler kit. We think this is why is WHP is maxing out way before redline. Next track day is 8-11...We'll have a lot more stuff done before that day and will have had this figured out by then...
Thanks again everyone...its like my 3 child...

Couple of comments before the questions. I think the coolest thing about this car is the color and it is almost always the thing people ask about first. You wouldn't believe how may people I see looking at my car looking for the vinyl folds thinking its the best full body wrap ever...when I tell them its factory they are floored. Lots of cars getting full body wraps out here in cali...lots. The other thing are the HRE's combined with the drop...the two just belong together and really changed the whole stance of the car.
On the performance side I am getting a lot of understeering when I throttle through a turn...its a little scary so I have to break in a turn to get the weight shifted back to the front and that's not really what I want to be doing. Break before the turn...throttle through it...thats what I have been taught and its just not working....
Getting it aligned tomorrow...I don't have any issues outside of speed bumps which are everywhere in my life.
The dealer did it for me along with the pipes and original wheels. The badges were cheap...maybe $150...Can't remember.
Happy & Russ- I honestly don't know the offsets but Vic, Rob at Vivid and Lon at HRE made sure they were perfect and they are all right here to help. Tires - 255-30-20 and 305-25-20 set in Michelin PS2. HUGE improvement over stock conti's
Yes sir...20's in satin black. I'm still on awe....
On the fence about that...I'm getting new badges sent over from Renntech and am thinking about the CF inset that Agency Power has on their car. Haven't decided what I am going to do yet but its an option.
I think it ties in the calipers and break lights...and I stole the idea from AJAG....
..I almost did them all red but the dealer said it would be overkill...but I like overkill sometimes...

yes alignment, most certainly you will have toe issue. (camber is a given but ok since you are not slammed).
As soon as I dropped my car I saw immediate scrubbing- thats the Toe being out of spec. Most people always think camber is the major cause in tire wear but its not- its toe.

O'yea...I have been asked to present the car at an International car show in LA. I will get detail out to the locals if it happens. If I missed any question let me know and I am more than happy to share what others here have taught me if you want to send me a PM. One thing I have learned is that there are no stupid questions...and that this community is dying to help where sometimes I know it can seem intimidating from the outside...for real.

I am seriously considered doing a glossy roof but I have a hard time painting over this paint.
Also - After race day some of the aftermarket paint started to chip a little (pebbles at 140mph will do that, hence the blue tape) so I will redo before the car show...maybe I will give it a try.
