We just got her this past Friday. This is Julep up front and Lulu in the back. It's nice having 2 cars that are almost identical inside. No fumbling for things like when we had 2 different cars.

installed blackout grill trim and the rear seat latch bar someone posted here a couple weeks ago (the beta ebay item). So far that bar is pretty amazing, I'm very excited how well it tied the rear end together for under $100 bucks.
Actually, every little bit of suspension stuff i end up doing to this car really brings the go-kart handling to another level...

So far it's only NM sport springs, potenza's instead of run-flats, M7 strut defender/brace, and that rear seat latch bar. TSW x-brace next...

That's really nice ^^^. Share some butt shots with those Chrome rings on the tails. It would look much cleaner with a full amber delete all around. I always loved this wheel/brake combo on Laser.

Dusty we need a Hi-Res pic!

Beautiful! Sure would love to have that hood and grill on my black S (no scoop).

You can dip the tips too. No need high temp paint.

It seems like it would melt off, but the internet seems to agree with you. I'll hit those too and see how it holds up. Thanks!
