It's alive!!!!
They are finalising with the sideskirt seals today.
Tomorrow begins the new radio installation. Then they will just fix the door ding. The reason they are slow because the body shop is jam packed.

Yes. Its quiet loud in person.
I am going to get the car next thursday hopefully.
Whats left for the near future is:
2 weeks time:
Install new tail light set.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Later stage of this year:
1) Stone Chip Repair
2) 3M Clear Bra
3) Sunroof seal.
4) The Dot emblem that is between the 3 and the 6 (pretty common for it to fall).
5) New Windshield.

Lots of progress done over the past two weeks.
Replaced passenger door window button.
Installed passenger side taillight.
Adjusted CO.
Ordered Turbo switch and turbo 3.6 emblem because my car is missing the dot between the 3 & 6.
Sunroof seal also on order.
After that just needs a proper detail and 3m clearbra.
Radio
In order to perfect it the way I want:
3M Clear bra, centre taillight and driver tail light. full detail inside out and new turbo 3.6 emblem plus sunroof seal and I'm probably done.

Amazing build MashaAllah. One thing is I wouldnt Dye the Leather as because of our hot and humid weather it might not Do so well. I would recommend you to take it to a car upholsterer and have the leather replaced. You can also buy ready made oem quality replacement leather covers and have the uplhosterer install them.

What bothers me with the car is the mechanical boost gauge by Greddy, I'll have it changed for a VDO to match the oem gauges.
