We have been working hard on that dash and this one is the first one 3D printed here in house. We have made a couple revisions and will have available hopefully in Feb.

Let's hope for a golden ticket so we can see you running her over the weekend.
See you in a couple weeks at SEMA.

Do you have the reverse lights hidden?
You know i wonder if theres a license plate light that has two functions. Light beam for plate light only and when put into reverse its even brighter and acts as a reverse light

Thanks guys, Randy there are no reverse lights. good idea on license light/ reverse but usually they are hidden and probably wouldn't provide the right angle though.
So now that the dust has settled after SEMA we can update a bit. We had an excellent spot in the K&N booth in Central hall, got some great press and on Weds got a golden ticket for OUSCI placed on the dash. Thursday morning we were very proud to have been chosen for a GM design award for best underhood. A huge honor considering the selection of cars there!
Ousci was a great experience although quite a bit different than when we last participated in 2012. Most cars this time around seemed more purpose built for this event and we felt we didn't really "fit in". Not to make excuses for my rookie driving, but I was very conservative in the speed stop and hot lap challenge as I could have done some serious damage in any off road excursions. We knew we weren't going to pose a threat to the "top dogs" so why take the risk in a car I don't own!
In a car that is more setup for street performance, comfort and less than optimum tires (Nitto Invo's!), we accomplished what we wanted and finished 3rd in the design and engineering segment. Overall the car feels very good and is probably the most quiet, smooth running all around package pro touring car we have built. Not to mention it hauls butt too!
