Well the car is basically done (1 day to spare)! Graphics could not be done in time, so will be done after Sebring. Turned out the way I was hoping. Now it just needs to perform as it should. Amazingly, in hindsight, if I had to do this all over again there isn't one thing I'd change or do differently. A couple shots of finished product less front lip (wont go on until unloaded at Sebring)

Thanks Charlie and Intersport!

If you've got somewhere warm to work I can show you how its done. Charlie Boyer schooled me in the materials [you NEED the right cleaner and application spray] and technique.

Car looks awesome.

Question: do you not need to have black-on-white or white-on-black numbering? Would've thought the black-on-grey wasn't allowed.

Looks like a ton of fun either way.

Good eye. Just has to be contrasting background. Grey is middle spectrum, so not sure, but that's all they had. Charlies having Intersport Sunvisor made, so will have him do some "number ovals" just in case and put on at Sebring if need be.

Don't forget the club racing stickers and drilling an inspection hole in the cage for tech.

Yep, picking those up Sebring. No hole ... Charlie said once they know Piper built it, they wont even look.
