How do you like them? The brembo's were one of the things that impressed me the most when I bought my PP car. I'm no track driver, but these are definitely the best brakes I've ever had on a car lol

Brilliant road trip - how about posting a map of your whole route?

That’s a good idea. I’ll try to put something together when I get back. You can get more detailed information on my Planning a Road Trip thread.
the first 3 days were pretty much dead west on I-10 but the last 2 days I’ve been off interstate highways when I can. Today will be more of the same.

Went to CnC on Saturday, meeting up with a local buddy who brought along his Marauder. He has a 2.3 Whipple with methanol going through a 6R80, on his fully built 4V. It's unique.

From there we checked out a local car show full of higher end exotics and newer muscle. Like an idiot, I failed to take any pictures and was instead, busy controlling my drooling problem.

Shout out to @fmc_smt for the cleanest S550 at the show.

Finally had my dashboard carbon skinned. I just had to remove the aluminum cover plate and used the plastic OEM part as a base. Aluminium cover plate wasn't even glued to that plastic part. I lost two plastic clips when I was pulling out the main part, and ended up ordering 20 spare from Ali (they are exact replacement). Overall cost was 530 EUR for all 4 pieces.

I've considered that project and am glad to see that you have an awesome result. Seeing what you went through, I'll just admire your work and leave that project on the back burner for me. You have a great accomplishment which you have every reason to be proud of.

Note: Your project would be a great contribution to this site's carbon fiber addicts anonymous thread.

Went to the body shop for an estimate.

$2K. Visible only. Gonna get under it tomorrow.

That's a shame. It doesn't take much to generate a costly repair. It looks like you may have caught a road gator.

Rip-off if it's just the deep gouges. That black plastic part can't be much, and the body work to fix the gouge on the painted part can't be that involved.

Started in Amarillo. The last leg of my road trip. I’m home.
