That is what the owner said during the interview before the awardee was announced.

That is correct. Mike said that the customer didn't even know about it until they met up with the customer in Columbus. All about the details, and Mike & Jim did a great job. Pictures do not do the car justice.

Congrats to Mike & Jim and also to the SMOY runner ups! Great show and definitely worth the trip!

yeh i read it on the goodguys website...says they repainted the whole car in a 96hour period during the long weekend..just shows you how serious they must of been about perfection..if anyone had seen it at the Goodguys event in Nashville maybe they could fill us in on the paint before they reshot it?

I did not talk to Mike and Jim about the repaint at Columbus. I did talk to them at Nashville and talked about the funky "cast" the carbon fiber was putting on the rear quarter and the way it made the quarter look darker then the rest of the car. I can only assume they were trying to paint that color difference out? Maybe they tinted the front part of the car? I am only speculating, but you can see the slight color difference in the preview pictures from Nashville on the GG site, and I did notice it was not so obvious at Columbus.

You have to hand it to them, they wanted it dead on, did it, and won. And I bet they ate the cost too!

How do you compete with that.

That interior (and whole ride) is gorgeous!

Bummer. It's going to cost you a lot more now to have the nicest car on your street.
