    Very nearly finished . . . .

    Just got my car back from the paint shop, where I had the new CSi insert and euro mirrors painted and installed. Here's a pic:

    I've also added smoked turn signals.

    On the interior, I've added a three spoke wheel, new shift knob and boot, and parking brake boot, all with three color M-stitching. (I've posted about the wheel before). I also changed the HVAC unit from the stock US version to the euro version with the auto recirculation function.

    Only thing left to do is get the Brembo calipers I purchased powder coated red, and installed. Then I'm done, and can just enjoy it!

    That first pic looks awesome...nice car!

    If you haven't I'd recommend the uuc short shifter, I just installed it last week and it makes a huge difference in shifts.

    Can that be done without dropping the tranny?

    Yes, a lot easier if driveshaft is loose on transmission side but doable either way.

    Between an 8s needs and our wants, we all know that an 8 is never finished.
