Rob the car looks AWESOME! Please let me know if there is anything we can help with on getting the car dialed in, we have come up with some cool stuff in the last few years to improve on ride and handling. We are also close enough that we would really enjoy seeing the car at the auto cross's if your willing!

Again car looks awesome and i think you will find it performs as good as it looks!

Thanks Kyle and Kevin- I'll definitely take you guys up on your offer to help me dial in the car.

Kevin- Funny you responded, I made a note last weekend to give you a call. You are about 10 minutes away from me down San Tomas. I already started my list of future mods.

I am planning on heading to Pleasanton on Saturday around noon and I will swing by your booth. I think the vette will stay home this weekend. I still need to detail the car and work out some of the gremlins. Two of them popped up this morning. First the battery was dead (need to figure out if it is just the 5.5 year old battery or if something is drawing it down) and then the power steering line blew off the rack and pinion and spewed royal purple everywhere.

Thanks Jay, I am really happy with the airbrushing. Besides the emblem, I also had him customize the fuel door and add a little something to the backside of the hood. He incorporated the C6R skull into the flag, which was a cool little touch.

Here's what the original fuel door looks like (mine was pretty faded, so I decided to customize it versus buying a replacement).


Here's a close up of the new door.


There was a sea of blue on the backside of the smoothed hood. I thought about painting the stinger stripe on the backside, but then decided on the custom corvette flag. I think it broke up the blue a little without being too over the top.
