Been trying to wipe the smile off my face for a few hours now :)
Next step after they finish hanging the front bumper and inner grilles is take it in for custom LS side pipe headers. Plan is to have it back on the road by the end of July!

It wasn't all fun and games when I was there however... Noticed a pretty significant ding in the lip of the front driver's side wheel...

I had the wheels drop shipped directly from CCW, and they've never left the shop. Any recommendations as to how I address this with the shop? At the very least I'd like to get that wheel re-hooped as it's more of a gouge rather than a scratch in the ano.

Love the build the flares and wheels make that a standout...Good luck with the shop be careful if you push too hard they can make it a nightmare to get your car back.. Just approach it like you cant understand how that happened and what do you(meaning Them) think we can do about it.. you get more with sugar than vinegar i have found out..
Ill keep my fingers crossed for ya..

agreed, before going in guns blazing, I would casually pull the manager aside and ask if he'd be willing to foot the bill for a new hoop for the wheel and explain to him that a new hoop is the most inexpensive option. I would imagine with the amount of money you've spent at his shop, if he's a good business owner, he wouldn't have a problem with that. Good luck, and great car!!

This. Be reasonable when approaching the subject. Obviously, something has happened and it needs to be addressed.

Car looks good sitting on its wheels outside. Glad you're happy with the work!

That looks awesome!!

Small update but still an update!

They've been chipping away at the remaining to-do's and sent me a pic of the hood pins drilled and installed. Hope to have a much bigger update this weekend or at the latest, middle of next week.

Can't wait to have it back! :G-Dub:

Awesome
 

What a beautiful car, C3 with flares on the bucket list:king:

The anticipation is really starting to build now ... ! Front end looks MEAN without the chrome.

T-minus 15 days and counting until I drop her off for custom LS side pipe headers. Can't wait!

Awesome Eric. Car looks sick!
