Glad to see you're out there enjoying your car, as it should be. These cars aren't meant to sit and be looked at, they're meant to be DRIVEN! I will say, however, that if I was forced to sit and look at your car all day, I wouldn't be the least bit upset.

Thanks dude. It's taken me a few years to realize focusing on driving the car > * cause I was too concerned about getting the car where I wanted it that I couldn't seem to enjoy it in the first place. Glad I've come around.

I am indeed. I'm still kinda learning the quirks, so I'm a little paranoid checking oil, coolant, etc... for now, but I've only put 1500 miles or so on it since it was installed. I'm sure I'll gain more confidence the more I get used to it.

idk why it took me so long to come across this build thread, but car looks fantastic!
I was also looking into a set of RG3s as well in the same size, but then a set of regas popped up that I got for an absolute steal.

How was the overall process of installing the supercharger?

Thanks!! I certainly love the RG3s...but I think I may want a set of GTs eventually

The Supercharger process really wasn't too bad. In my case, the kit was used, and missing a lot of the nuts/bolts/etc... plus I replaced all the fittings and hoses with AN style. If I had everything I needed from the start it would have been much quicker overall. I spent a lot of time going back and forth between the store to get a random fitting or more hose.

Adding for posterity. Added OEM Hardtop. Interior & trim is literally mint. Outside has maybe a couple swirls and 1 very, very small scratch. It's a solid 9.5/10, and I'm extremely excited about it.
