Steve, the support is actually on the floor in front of the car and it will get painted. Thanks for looking out. I just hope it turns out half as nice as yours.

Not 100% sure about the body and paint work yet. I am putting on Ings+1 Fenders but modifying them, also doing custom vent work into the side skirts and modding the hood as well. I am also smoothing the rear bumper as well.

The Recaro seats just came in, so I have to mount them tonight, so we can get started on the roll cage tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

I don't know about envy, because so many people have different tastes, but I will be happy.

To answer your question about sponsorships, as probably many people will tell you, they are a funny thing. Some people will get tons and have nothing done to their car, and others have no sponsors and a ton of work on their car. I really only have one true sponsor which is my audio shop. They did all of my work at no cost. I guess I can call my other shops partial sponsors since I get such a discount on their parts and labor. A lot of people say that they are sponsored because they sport the logos on their car, but most of the time, they might have gotten a slight discount off product.

I honestly don't know how much I spent on this car, because this is the third time redoing everything. All I know is that it is WAY too much.
I could use this car as a daily driver, but I am not going to. Don't get me wrong, I will be driving the car as much as possible, but I know have exotic insurance on it, so I am only allowed to drive it up to 6000 miles per year. I hope this helps.

Who did you get your insurance through? Did it drop since you're only allowed 6K miles a year?

It is from American Modern Insurace Group. I have right now 70,000.00 in coverge and depending where you live obviously, the price will change. I pay about 600 per year, but it is going up since I am raising my coverage to 90,000.00. I live in PA, so I don't know what it is like in Ohio. I got the coverage from Sky Smith Insurace located in Ankeny, IA.

You think that 600 per year is heafty for 70,000 worth of coverage? If my car gets stolen, they give me a check for 70,000.00. My normal coverage on the car was 1,200 per year, with a lot less coverage.
My daily drivers are my 2000 Pathfinder with 205,000 miles on it, and my 2005 Acura TL as well.
