This is amazing, suprised there is not more comments.

You guys put in a LOT of work in an incredibly short amount of time. Congratulations on the awards

Funny videos as well. Your neighbours must hate you! That was the oldies reference?

What is that dark grey paint used on like the water neck and the timing cover etc. Looks nice.

Said it a few times before, but awesome job guys! The car looked even more phenomenal in person, definitely doing the MKIII community well! Looking forward to seeing what you guys bring next year...

Thanks bro! I'm sorry we didn't get to check out your car more, we just had so much work to do! Sucks we really didn't even get to check out any of the cars. I see you already got your $2010 car lined up! haha. We've already thought about a few cars, but it's too soon to tell. We'd like to do something unique of course. Maybe something we can swap a 7M into

The paint on the water neck and timing cover is actually black. It's that "flame proof" paint from the auto parts store. It's a little more 'flat' than the other flat colors. If you are looking for a good darkish grey color, the Cast Iron high temp paint is a really nice color. Just be sure to put on very light coats, cuz it's a runny color.

Thanks everyone for the supportive comments! It means a lot because we have over 1000 man-hours into this car in the past month and a half. Worked our asses off. I hope you guys also noticed the SupraMania love , you've all been a big help these past two years, and we would've been hating life without your support and money, lol.
