Sadly, I only have a few pics, all of which my friend took w/o my knowledge and sent to me as a surprise. I haven't had a chance to take any myself yet. I apologize, but this is the only one I have of it w/ all current mods. Unfortunately, you can't really see them all! (I wanted to post some of his "before" shots, but it won't let me upload them.) Anyway, much thanks to my friend Chris for the pics, as well as to the other MBW members and vendors from whom I got parts.
I hope to have some more pics to post soon. I welcome any questions, comments, etc., and thanks for lookin'!

Love the combo! I would lower the front a bit more. other than that. your car is sweeeet!

Thanks, everyone! I appreciate the kind words, especially since I not only admire many of your cars but also was inspired by your work. I must say, you guys have exceptional taste!
Yes, the color is black opal. People always ask, "what color is that?" I just say dark blue. It sometimes shows a slight dark greenish hue, and it seems to change shades and depths depending on lighting and time of day. It's a very interesting color -- particularly in person -- and pretty uncommon, around here at least.
Yes, the HREs are 19" dark grey metallic centers w/ polished lips.
I'd love to drop it some, but I'm having trouble trying to decide how. And all the Airmatic failure stories I've heard don't help!
I've got plenty more on my to do/wish list, but I'm trying to take a little break from modding for a while. This is one addictive and expensive habit.
I'll try to put some more pics up soon.
Thanks again all for the encouraging comments!
