I picked up the TTA today, and am very pleased with the results.
The car isn't a show car, but it looks pretty freaking awesome!
It's got new front fender liners, new nose emblem and the fender emblems were removed to replace with a new set (from Car Motorsports) that didn't come in before I picked up the car. Honestly, I think it looks better without them and may not put them back on the car.
The wheels came out beautiful, and are stunning in person. They were stripped, any edge damage smoothed out, centers painted and clear coated, and the lips polished. There is no clear on the lips, and they can even be polished more than they are now. I have a new set of centercaps on order, but these are in great shape. You'll also notice that it's wearing all new tires (BFG G-force Sports and BFG DR's).
Next up are a few minor interior items...recover the steering wheel, a new console and shift plate, clean the seat belts, etc. I'm going to put the TE44 and a set of 50's on it in the next week or two.
Anyway...on to some pics...

Thanks all!
I'm very happy with the way the car is looking.
Standing next to the car, it looks awesome. In fact, there are now just a few minor details that I notice that others probably wouldn't even catch.
As particular as I can be, I'll probably have those fixed in the next month or two.
I took that silly "Maui Built" (no...I don't know what it meant) sticker off the back window last night and took off the Texas registration sticker in the windshield.
I'm going to try to get it to Atco tomorrow for T&T before taking off the stock turbo.
I'd like to see mid-high 12's out of it. These BFG DR's are obviously a better tire than the Nittos, and the car is hooking now instead of spinning like it was. I decided not to run MT DR's for a few reasons. One of them being that because they will be on the car all the time, and they are more sticky than the BFG's, they'd have probably torn up the quarter panels...which I don't want.
