One issue I ran into was that the PDC sensors are still Carbon Black- anybody know if these could be painted over, or do I have to order new PDC sensors?
The moldings were all painted today, and my tint shop is retinting the rear glass with a different film before we put it back in (the rest of the car will be retinted as well once I have it back).

Things are starting to come together. The whole car was retinted with 3M film. Since I had the rear window out, they were able to spend a lot of time getting the tint to bond with the dot matrix, and the end result is amazing.
I picked up a new goody. An Eisenhaus Meisterschaft Titanium exhaust to replace the Eisenmann Race- this should be quite a bit louder, and 40+ lbs lighter. I'll be installing it tomorrow.
Also, the front bumper is finally going on. These pictures show the process of it being fitted (I left before they completed the final perfect fitment).
Things left to do:
I can't say enough good things about the workmanship at International Autobody. It seems any time I have doubts, or read about how things should be done online, I come in to discuss with the workers, and that's exactly how they've done the work.

Things left to do:
- Reassemble interior of hardtop
- Install all moldings
- Polish hardtop, bootlid, hood
- Go over a few small odds and ends

I think that bootlid looks SO much better on the vert.
