I like the paint scheme, although I've always been a fan of the taller spoilers on 2nd gens. The wheels will look awesome as long as they are 18"

For sure Pete, I can't wait to stop by your shop. I'm looking forward to it.

I think the color is perfect for that car I hope to get to see it in person when Pete gets it.

Ryan, I keep going back and fourth on the rear spoiler. I change my mind every other day, but I can't afford to have Ben redo the rendering every time I change my mind. lol
And the wheels are 18-inches.

Because I do believe they are doing A LOT more than just paint. Adding a bunch of DSE products including mini tubs.

Because Pete could work with us on doing stories of the build. It a pain in the ass for a shop when we have to document everything done on a car. Also, Nick likes Pete's work and wanted to use him.

Besides, it gets sorta boring where every build we do is done by a shop in SoCal.. this should break it up a bit.

Like Steve said, there is a lot of work to be done on this car, not just paint.
Pete and the guys at Competition Specialties do top-notch work, and knowing your stuff is in good hands, and the fact that everything will be done right, is pretty damn comforting.
You have to see what comes out of that shop in person. It's the Sh#t!

Hope you go with polished 18" Fikse's, I like the polished look vs the dark centered look on an orange car.

You can't go wrong with either rear spoiler, I just think spoilers finish of the car somewhat and on 2nd gen's the taller spoiler looks better IMO.

BTW Nick, how's the Captain doing?
