where will I be able to see this beauty at SEMA? I have the urge to break into the body shop just to look at this color...
and the $$$ you are spending, better not look at the receipts... and if you are married, hide them from the wife!

Lol!
Seriously, the paint looks amazing. Great choice. It has a factory look with the paint, which tames the super aggressive look of the body kit. What I'm trying to say is that it looks more factory and less "kit-ish", which is cool.

Went to see the car yesterday at DTM Autobody and my mouth dropped when I saw the color in person. I wish I could really show the true color of the paint with my camera but I just can't capture it. The BASF Glasurit Liquid Metal paint in person is just AMAZING!!!! The paint is so fine that it seems like the entire car was formed out of a single piece of stainless steel.
The Racemesh grille complements the aggressive angular openings of the Misha Designs front bumper. Behind each Racemesh grille we installed an 8 LED driving light unit. DTM Autobody had up to 6 guys working on the car on Saturday. I was there for about 5 hours just observing and watching them work on the project with awe. All the workers were just as amazed as I with the way the paint shimmered. I had the calipers stripped, and repainted BASF Glasurit Mclaren Orange and applied a JDM Chrome Brembo vinyl sticker custom made by Instyle Graphics before shooting the calipers with another few coats of amazing BASF Glausrit Clear.
The interior project is on schedule as well. Currently all the pieces removed from the car are either completed or almost finished. It helps that Top Stitch Upholstery is located only 3 miles from the body shop. I called Anthony over there today and he has guys working overtime tonight just to get everything finished in time.
The car is schedule to be picked up Tuesday from DTM Autobody and will head to its final journey before SEMA. Hyevon Motorsports will then start the work on the engine as well as help with a few more surprise last minute car mods that just got overnighted. On Saturday Emergency Hookers will pick up the car from Hyevon in Huntington Beach and it will begin the 270 miles trip to Vegas to be unveiled in front of the crowd at SEMA 2010.
Here are some pictures below of my Saturday Adventure at DTM Autobody.

Your ability to get such dedication and true artisan level work from these shops is inspiring! My experience has led to the understanding that this level of work and commitment is indeed rare.
Congrats on one of the nicest builds I have seen on this forum.
You are going to knock them dead in Vegas!

DTM Auto Body sent me some pictures today of Project Widebody SL with the front bumpe r installed. The car will be ready for the transport tomorrow afternoon. I can’t wait to see the car finally put together. Also the interior carbon fiber pieces have finally arrived just in time. They will be installed by Hyevon Motors later this week.
The new iForged wheel centers will return from the powdercoater in the morning and will be fitted with the carbon fiber barrels which were completed today. Four more days until the transport picks up the car for SEMA.
