Yes, I am selling the car.. Looking at a Bentley Gt or a Gallardo (2004 or 05).


As far as changing the wood.. cost is $1800 (wholesale) for all the pieces. I paid a tech on the side $200 to put it in..

I think the black Maplewood is the best looking choice, the red is more "s" class to me.

I have the new clear 55 third brakelight, just havent had a chance to install it.
No rubbing at all.. The lowering kit is $400 wholesale..
If you had a 55 for a few days it is obvious that you never drove it at full throttle. If you did it is highly unlikely to claim that your car sounds much better.

I have had a 55 for a week and 65 for a weekend. Plus two of my friends have 55's both say my car sounds better than theirs does. I think that the supercharger takes away from the exhaust. I am not implying the 55 doesnt sound good, just mine has a deeper more agressive tone.
