Thanks J, it's about time LoLa get's the props j/k..I am running Falkens 452's 25 series (very low to the ground and not advisable for roads with alot of pot holes) but these tires have a soft sidewall which is very good for 20 inch wheels...

Wow. Your car looks outstanding Chris. I love the contrast and careful use of black in key areas. Perfect balance without overdoing it. The hood leaves me speechless too. The side skirts really set off the car too.

I'll miss you all Sunday, I've got some family matters. I would love to see the private collection of Tao pics. Hopefully they stay offline. Heheh.
It's always fun to run across old pictures of the car, before the major mods.

It was exciting to see Lola getting all the work done at C&C Collision. As I had Nathan work on my car also, I got to visit them both from time to time. So awesome to see her fully built. Were you going to add the Hamman rear kit too Chris? After my wallet recuperates from Mfest, I'm going to really look into finishing up her rear.
I like to think of my car as the half bastard cousin of Lola... that went goth . Once I get the rear of the car done (yes, I'm a comin to bother you again Nathan!), I hope to get some shots with her Chris. Though, my car is not nearly worthy enough to be in the same shot.
More plugs for C&C and Nathan and Rett. If any of you saw a jet black M5 with license plate "ZOMG111" at Mfest, all the awesome work on the Hood, bumper moldings, side skirts, front lip, was done by C&C.
