  1. Well, not really. But since I love the look of the STS and I wasn't a fan of the original louvered engine bonnet it seemed like a no-brainer. I purchased the car with a Renown Lp570 bumper and SL skirts already installed so that was just icing on the cake, but the rims were in dire need of upgrade. Out with the old: In with the new: Onto the juicy stuff...I ordered the Super Trofeo Stradale body kit in gloss carbon fiber from RevozPort via David Wong at SP Engineering. I can't say enough nice things about David (to be expanded on later). Delivery day: Lip spoiler: Wing: Bonnet: Ugh oh: Not sure if it got damaged from shipping or who knows but the important part is David was super awesome getting a replacement worked out. Revozport was making me a new one within the week! This is where it gets fun because RevozPort wants the old one to be DESTROYED. I was a little bummed because I was imaging making it into a table or an artistic wall piece at this point, but I understand the company doesn't want me to bondo the damage up, paint it, and have a second functioning bonnet for resale. Trying to work it over: Not very impressive, right? Hammers, MMA, and trying to fold it in half didn't work very well. Alrighty, time to go medieval on this thing! Video: End Result: Replacement showed up today and looks absolutely perfect. Proof: Updates will come as the parts get installed.
  2. I wouldn't be half surprised if that was water... But, it didn't look like there was any snow/precip on the wing nor was there any coming down so I'm also not sure why they are even doing a deice/anti-ice...if that's what they are doing at all.
  3. While I am strongly against a nuclear arms race, the DoD is in dire need of updating it's nuclear arsenal. Our nuclear triad has been neglected for decades because it's a political time bomb. Every arm of our nuclear defense is old nearly to the point of negligence (save the B-2). Our ICBMs and SLBMs are beginning to age out. The B-52 and KC-135 are 60 years old. And the Ohio class SSBN is starting to push 40 years old (first commissioned in 1976). Russia got handed a gift basket in the START I & II treaties. We handcuffed, basically, any domestic nuclear development and let them do as they pleased because we figured they couldn't afford to do any research. Now, Russia has just commissioned a brand new ICBM and is well ahead of us in developing a hypersonic delivery vehicle. Nuclear weapons have a shelf life (ie: half life) so we can't just not do anything and try and forget about them. So, while even the concept of nuclear weapons doesn't appeal to me they are a necessary evil. Do we need thousands of them? No. I think we should start dropping numbers as we retire old weapons and replace them with newer technology. As for arguing about aliens...yes that's one theory. Or maybe there aren't any. Kind of hard to have a really intelligent discussion about something that has literally no science behind it besides the belief that us being alone in the universe is a huge waste of space IMO.
  4. Might be due to when the backup camera became standard. But otherwise, a correctly spec'd SL wing will fit on any year Gallardo bonnet.
  5. Any of those hard paint protectors seem money. My G turned out amazing after my detailers and the follow on washes have been super easy.
  6. Camaro SS (turbo) C6 Plastic mess-06 Gen 2 Viper GTS Gen 3 Viper SRT-10 (supercharged) and now finally the G.
  7. Can anyone confirm if these are stock shocks or aftermarket?
  8. Out with the old Auto Couture Lative rims: On my buddies lift: Good time to scrub the inside and calipers while the wheels are off: Side by side: Coming along nicely: All done: Ordered the rest of the Super Trofeo conversion (wing, bonnet, etc) today through SP Engineering as well. Can't wait!
  9. The one on the left. I have tried browsing through all the schematics on Lambo-Stuff and couldn't find it. It's for a Pre-LP to Super Trofeo engine bonnet conversion. Thanks!
  10. Lots of C/D model Hornets up here. Wonder how they will do...I'll sit in on the shot val. Last RF-A a Hawg got a confirmed AIM-9 shot on the Red Air. It was hilarious and there was a slow clap in the audience.
  11. Looks like everyone is hanging out with Eagle's these days...
  12. Definitely get the VIN to make sure it's a real AMG. Then I'd agree with GO-RAN or BLK TONY. It's either been in an accident or de-badged because that isn't right. From Mercedes-AMG official website: Edit: Finding some more with the badges like the OP's...hmmm this is getting confusing now: And another one for sale with the badges in the OP's order: http://www.wisimonson.net/new/Mercedes-Ben...24d3a72792b.htm
  13. The only reason there weren't tons of people there was because of a delay caused by a bomb scare from an backpack. Damn.
  14. Literally had that link ready to go and then when scrolling down to post it saw you beat me to it. Carbon fiber wins.
  15. Maybe if it had a revolutionary engine or something to go along with it I'd be remotely interested (not that I am in the market). But 2.2M for the same engine that's in an Aventador (or at least one that only makes 10-20hp more) seems like an epic rip off. The ThethetheFerrari was what...1.5M new? And that was a completely original design with a brand new engine/technology. Why can't I expect the same from a flag ship special edition Lambo?
  16. Some more pics. I'll see if I can get a full build sheet/receipt for everything.
  17. Anyone knowledgeable on custom motorcycles? I have, what I think, is a good buy as a toy or to flip as an investment. But I don't know jack about motorcycles let alone a highly custom/1 off build bike. Details: Built by Quality Tech Machine Shop, Kansas Harley Evo engine Baker Transmission Big Dog Mastiff frame 250 back wheel/tire ~500 miles Custom paint job in a P-40 Warhawk theme (WWII airplane) Anyone venture what it would be worth? My buddy is saying $15k on the market.
  18. Let me guess...equipped with the highest hp stock Aventador engines to magically create an extra 20 hp, yet otherwise mechanically identical? And I like the SV and 50th design much better than this one. What's the price?
  19. Yeap, I think it's your former car!
