Thank you all for the feedback!

Stefan... 100% agree with you as well sir... I haven't received any new word lately, BLP has been super busy and I suspect something new to pop up either this week or next.

Casper... your eyes do not deceive you. The interior is staying in black e-coat due to the overall scheme of what I want the interior to look like when all said and done. All black and carbon fiber. Thanks for the comments!!!

Thinking of ideas for the interior and a cage, probably going to do a simple NHRA approved 4-point, wrapped in wet carbon to match the c/f dash and door panels. Mike at BLP knows what im looking for, we sat down and went through some pics and I showed him which one I wanted.

In addition, have the guys make a lightweight box for the 10" sub, wrapped in wet carbon as well as wrapping the Do-Luck rear strut bar (the center only, leaving the ends powder coated either black or RSP). There will be a Targa mount in the rear that will allow it to be placed over the amp, which will sit directly in front of the sub (as your looking from the rear), over both the amp and strut bar, not obstructing the rear view. The only issue for the placement of items in the interior is where to put the chiller bottle. Thinking of mounting it somewhere where the backseats use to be, passenger side, due to the trunk space having the strut bar, sub, amp, and targa (if I ever take it off). Mabe we could squeeze it back there somewhere. Again, there is still a few weeks until this really goes into effect. Last thing I want is a crowded trunk, so some thinking beyond my intelligence level has to be conducted... also, with the OEM spare tire hardware out, there is a lot of room to work with back there.

Thanks for the comments gents! It is definitely much appreciated! Ok... Trying to make this as painless as possible...

I have not received any updates lately. I have been in the field for the past few weeks and will not return until the later part of next weekend (28th). I'm assuming the paint has been fixed by now. We will see...

Stay tuned!!!
