im liking the "miami vice" part

It helps with the traffic out on the country highway... people often like to drive slow on the passing lane here. Also thanks for all your comments, and inputs I will take it into consideration of what to mod' along with the stage two process..
On another note: It was a successful meet today, we broke our last year's record of 24... With over 30 attended, we took some great photos. I'll be posting it soon as soon as I get them...

So you got those police lights for clearing out the traffic?????
And regarding your stage two project, are you going to put an M3 engine in?
How about a supercharger with a decent intakes plus a remap? i think it will produce about the same bhp as the M3, but less modifications need to be made
(Of cos M3 engine is more fun)
Anyway, can't wait to see more terrific pics.

What an amazing project...I cannot begin to imagine what you were feeling the night before or at the moment when you turned her on...I know she returned the favor! 
Looking forward to more pics and maybe a mpeg of you driving her...
I have to agree with Rudy on the antenna. I like the contrasts you were trying to achieve...the antenna looks out of place.

Looks great. What an amazing transformation! 
Not to be critical but to me, the antenna looks odd painted white. In my opinion, I think it would look better painted black -- no need to call attention to it, just let it blend into the roof...
Other than that, outstanding!

Seeing those group photos is making me all tingly inside, thinking about our upcoming California meet! Wish you could be here, Ishbu! (You could clear the road of traffic ahead with those police lights! )
