I was up to see John at the shop Saturday, saw your car there. It's going to look nasty! Are you staying with the pop ups, or going with the fixed lights?
Takes me about 10/15 min. with good traffic on a Saturday.

Awesome build quality. Call, and talk to him yourself!

I remember when he first stated designing the kit as was trying to get feedback from forum member here, maybe a year ago or so. At that time, the projected a cost of approx. $10k. It sure is a nice kit, and I'm sure the fit and finish is excellent. I just wish someone could come aut with a kit similiar in stlying that is priced reasonable, available as a kit. The ACP full widebody kit is only like 1/5 th the price of this kit (I believe around $6k) and is nice, but I like the extra flash of the Caravaggio. Anyway, very beautiful bodywork.

Jetz:

Planning on staying with the pop-ups for now. Not sure I like the fixed lights and I need to leave a little for future projects.

ProtoVette:

I agree, the fit and finish are great - definitely better than the tack on polyurethane stuff that I have seen on the imports. John did mention that his wide body is available as a kit (12K US if I recall), althought he prefers to install himself so that he can maintain the quality of the final product.
