Can't wait to see what you get done Mike. I plan to shave my trunk and do a molded lip one of these days.

I'm not sure it will ever be "complete"... there are still several things I want done... for some reason my G mods are like tattoos... by the time the one I'm working on is done I already have the next one or two planned...

I used to keep a log and tally everything up... it was line itemed by maintenance, performance and aesthetics... I haven’t kept up with it in a long time, got stacks of invoices and performance documents sitting waiting for me not to be sooo lazy.

So to answer your question, I have no idea other than more than reasonable... and more to come.

nice! If you like the way mine ends up, they have more similar - and you're close to them.... The engine bay might be ready sooner than I thought (still a ways out though) - hopefully you'll be available for your photo-magic!

Cool, sounds good.

I know you've been wanting to take some photos at a beach location overlooking the water. I was looking through Traction magazine at the tire shop a couple of ago and saw a sweet location right on the water and I'm pretty sure it is in Malibu. I just have to figure out if that spot is open to the public, I'll let you know.

depending on how yours look I'm gonna see if I love it enough to want one too (hope you don't mind).

If i get mine done i'll probably leave a portion of it unpainted, exposing the carbon fiber....so it wont be 100% copying you

I should clarify my response in blue – that pertains to all the things I’ve done to the car, some of it was the worse bang for buck ever – but I’m not at all referring to Auto Explosions work – in fact, they have been worth every penny!

4drmadness, I’m not sure if your question was about the total cost of the G mods or just whats being done now…

Grant and I found a great place (probably the same one you found, so keep it secret ) - we need to go back because the shots we got before were poorly sunlit - the plan was to go this weekened when the sun is in right location (then the stupid bumper mistake, which is why the car is in the shop to begin with)...

Once the body work is done, I will be getting together with grant again to do the beach shots (already set up with him)... but in the mean time I'm working on some engine bay stuff... so when all that is behind me I'd like to get together with you for some shots
