Richfly this is for you. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger and making my interior look like this. It will go well with my twin turbo.

LOL thats really funny Ivan....actually, there is a gauge site that DDM Works sent to me that makes LCD screen gauges where you can toggle between whatever style gauge you want, and even create your own wallpaper images for the gauge. It's pricey but they look amazing.

Hey All,
The car is officially having the hood scoop installed as we speak. It will be ready tomorrow afternoon. Here are the details on it. The scoop is designed by Danny Whitfield, the Diamondback Solstice creator. It fits the contour of the hood perfectly. I had it painted to match my hood at Newbridge Auto Body, a local shop in N. Bellmore that has refined craftsmanship skills. They will be using 8 rivets to attach the hood, along with a strong glue. They also cut a slit in the back of the scoop to allow trapped air to get out. This is not a functional scoop because i chose not to make it one. It would have required cutting the hood and repainting the entire thing. I checked on the small pipes idea but the scoop is not high enough. Anyway, here are some teaser pictures before the install:

It looks even better in person. We mocked it up on the car and it looked so good!

Just got a call from the powder coater and all my parts are done and John at Action said the purple looks awesome. I`m in SFO, so I can`t pick up everything till Mon. then I`ll drop off the caps at Ed`s for the yellow graphics. All should be done by mid week. So no car this Sunday.

So Rich, when the pilot and co-pilot both eat the bad fish, which button do I push?

Hey All,
I don't know about you, but i love this forum and people have been so good to me. I have made many new friends that I will have for a lifetime. I appreciate it...so I decided to become a supporting member. It was $25 and it is the least I can do for all of the information and friends I have gotten from Solstice Forum.
