Going Solo At Long Last

The time has finally arrived and my order for Solo's SQR-2 went in yesterday. Spoke with Jeff and finalized the order. Now I have to wait for it to arrive like a kid before Christmas.
After seeing Druid-2's photos, I knew that I had to go Solo. The SQR-2 with Norm's smooth valence is how a Solstice should look for me. Now if there was only some way to make time fly faster so my Solo be here now.

Tommorrow is the day! Solo was delivered today and will be installed tommorow by my dealer. They are looking forward to doing the install almost as much as I am to have it done. Norms handywork should be here in a couple of weeks or so to complete the package. Will post pictures as soon as its complete.

T2 looks great

If I had my 06, I would do the T2 also. We traded it in for an 08 GXP and recently installed Norms F-430 nose. It looks great and Norm was agreat person to deal with. Enjoy your new look. To see my GXP, go to cardomain and search CADREAMIN.

CADREAMIN , really like the look. Picked mine up this afternoon from the dealer and was totally blown away! The sound clips are great, but they just don't do the real sound justice.
Even newly installed, pre- breakin, the throaty growl is unreal. Jeff and Solo are true masters who have given the Solstice the voice it deserves

Hi Highlander, Druid and everybody. Thanks for the great comments. The SQR-2 was sure a labor of love. We spent well over 6 months designing and redesigning product that would fit and sound right for the 2.4. We are so happy with the final result. Norm's valence/diffuser is the icing on the cake that makes is perfect. It's an expensive kit and we appreciate it so much that people are still buying it. We're so glad your satisfied! Thanks.

Jeff...gots lotsa favorables this week end

rlhammon had his SOLO street race on and I had the SQR-2

woke up a couple of towns early Sat and Sun morning shifting thru 1st and second

Comments were such as ...."a hell of a lot better than (vendor's name will not be mentioned)

and ...deep and throaty..a little loud...but the tone is most excellent

THOSE THAT RAN DIRECTLY BEHIND ME.....and some even 4 cars back heard the burble and the growl

FUNNY THING IS no one said..."stop that noise"
