Any details on the carbon trim for the ducts or the gt-mirrors on the fenders? Nice touches I haven't seen before.

I am trying my best to delay that as much as possible by buying the wife a new cat every time she mentions it but we have three now and i don't think i can handle any more.

Man gets sick of too many cats, gets wife pregnant

Let's see pics of all these felines

Love the way the car came out in your last picture, I've never been a fan of the '99 spec plateless front bumper but the way you have it all G'ed up it looks damn great.

I love the way you've made a unique rare car your own, and ever more unique
