You need help! Toyaholicism is very hard to overcome.

Agree 100%, sounds like you have a good crew making sure its finished correctly. And you certainly have another nice car to drive while waiting should you feel the Camaro need...

I'll check back next week. Have a good weekend.

Congrats on COTW! Now, post some pictures of all the interior pieces you were having painted. I want to see the final result.

Thanks, and thanks for pointing me out to COTW! I was hoping to have it painted before then

I don't have any plans for any interior paint. I have been thinking about swapping out the side and dash panels for white, and then I'll probably have to paint the instrument trim and maybe a few others. White and silver don't go together in my opinion.

Maybe you are thinking about under-the-hood pieces. I'm working on the engine cover and strut tower brace now. It'll take me a few days.

The paint shop should be completed this week for sure. I'll keep this thread updated!!!

Thanks! My next change will probably be coil-overs to adjust the ride and height to my liking. The maggie will probably be awhile, or as long as I can hold myself back!

I have had the car for 5 weeks and I only got to drive it for 6 days. 2 of those were up on the lift getting suspension and exhaust swapped out. I want to drive it for awhile!!!
