Holy shit. I bet that car doesn't look that good when it leaves the factory. Even if it was built in a class 10 cleanroom. Nice work..

It looks too good to drive anywhere?!?

Haha thanks. It doesn't look as good now; just got back from a ~345km roadtrip in the rain.

. Atually I just went down and put in my aluminum pedals and de-badged, but since I have to drive pretty far again tomorrow I am going to wait to wash it.

Man, that accelerator pedal is a pain in the ass!

Oh that reminds me Josh - did you ever do a how-to on your hardwired V1? I remember reading that you were going to do one somewhere... I think.

man, your car is very lucky to have you as the owner . very nice prep work. Your dealer is probably at a lost for words when you requested to take delivery of the car with the tapes still on the car during shipping.

Thanks for your confirmation Picus. Does the alu. trim give you any uncomfortable glare while driving under the bright and sunny day?

The armor all stuff is ok, they reformulated it in the early 1990's so it doesn't hurt trim anymore. I really love 303 because it offers so much protection, but it's not required.
