Insane. When are you coming to a local meet? Speaking for most in the club, we would all love to see your car in person.
Yes, I'm dying to take it to one of the meets!! It seems like I've been building this forever!!! Soon I hope, I'd love to meet all you guys!!

Diez, I don't normally post on the gallery "ooooo-ing" and "ahhhhh-ing" over other people's cars, but I really have to hand it to you. In my opinion you have built a vehicle for the connoisseur and you've put it together in a clean, mature looking fashion.
Well done! 2 x
I for one, am completely inspired by your work and attention to detail. In fact I am highly tempted to ditch my current exterior setup in favor of a more clean look integrating the Amuse bumper! Who wants to buy a hybrid aero Ings kit????

Diez knows what is wrong with 90% of car enthusiasts, 90% of car "enthusiasts" are not enthusiasts at all, they are just enthusiastic about being different, being noticed by others, and being able to mindlessly brag about mechanics of their car that never are truly utilized
Diez is not this, Diez is a conniesuir.

I can't give thanks enough! Yeah, I just sort of like what I like and if people don't like it thats cool...But if people like it, I'm flattered!! really! And yes, I could care less if this car gets noticed by the general public or if it goes to shows or, etc. etc. If it ends up that way then great, but if not, thats cool too! The only show it has to perform in is in my garage when I put a sleeping bag next to it and cuddle with it!! You can tell I don't have a girlfriend right now right?!

Memphis: I've been in L.A. for three months now. I have money, I have taste. But I'm not on anybody's "A" list, and Saturday night is the loneliest night for the week for me.
Roger the Car Salesman: Well, a Ferrari would certainly change that.
Memphis: Perhaps, Mmmm. But, you know, this is the one. Yes, yes yes... I saw three of these parked outside the local Starbucks this morning, which tells me only one thing. There's too many self-Indulgent wieners in this city with too much bloody money! Now, if I was driving a 1967 275 GTB four-cam...
Roger the Car Salesman: You would not be a self-indulgent wiener, sir... You'd be a connoisseur.
Memphis: Precisely. Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part.

Hahahaha right on Mav, I thought of that too... now seriously to find a buyer for my current bodywork =P
Diez, if you don't mind me asking, do you have a figure for what the metal work and finishing work on the fenders cost you?
I'd be interested to see if that was a more financially reasonable alternative to the more costly and fragile carbon fiber setups out there.
