LOL, that's right. She had a busted rear bumper and a whole mess of Grand Canyon grime on her and the remnants of a three person road trip IN her. Yeah, she was looking pretty rough.

She's definitely cleaner and fresher now: New grill, fresh powdercoat on the rims, new tires, a prototype shift knob, the carbon seat (ohhhh, the seat...), black wrinkle finish engine cover, a sick under hood MB emblem replacement (it's a watch!) and all that fancy Arkym goodness make for a happy Dragon. A very happy Dragon. And a happy Josh.

It's surprisingly comfortable. The shape isn't like most other aftermarket seats. It's really nicely curved and there's no real flat spot across the bottom or back, so there's no hot spots. I'm 6' tall and 200lbs and this thing really fits me like a glove. But this is just my experience with it. YMMV. I drove around for about two hours the night I got it mounted and was amazed at how well the bolsters work. The crazy thing is that since there's no padding to compress, the car feels so much faster, as any forward or lateral acceleration is transmitted right to your body through the seat. And yet it's not harsh. It's frickin' magic as far as I'm concerned. And the drive to Vegas... Just wow.

She was a beauty Josh. It sucks that they placed you in pretty much what's considered the back corner with little foot traffic. That piece of art deserved to be in a much higher profile location. Plus side is less pedestrian damage to worry about

black window trims look really nice. Did you have them wrapped?

Wow looks great! I still envy those rear fenders!!! You had your windshield busted? Who did you use to replace it and was it a pain in the *** to do?
