well...
besides the lights, I wanted some things more "finished" in the interior, HUD is being moved to reflect in a bit better position, I requested trim go around the entrance points in dash for the roll cage, tweeking of some mechanicals most notably the fuel rail modified for better, more consistent flow and more OEM appearance as the lines are rerouted and coated, secondary radiator was painted black, the CF scoop is on/bonded into the CF hood and now being resprayed for blending. The biggest change is going to Porsche bolt patttern and running custom 8x8.5/8x10 3 piece forged center BBS Motorsport Racing wheels for the track. Unfortunately, unless I want to go to the effort of swapping out adapters and studs of my RS4 custom wheels each time I go the track, they will no longer be used and I'll select a Porsche bolt pattern wheel instead. :-(
It was the ONLY way I could get a light enough wheel with sufficient clearance. Next year, I will get a set of those RS4 wheels done with a Porsche bolt pattern in 19" and will have them modified a bit more for weight reduction...so eventually I will have that appearance again.
HPA will probably put on some new graphics temporarily for the next two events, then after that they will clean up the car, replace anything that needs to be addressed mechanically and it will be shipped to me. I'm thinking sometime round Thanksgiving.

Thanks. Was not going to do it, but the front end was...
coming off anyway and we had some time so I thought I'd just bite the bullet and go for it. Riso said he sent the clear turn signal lenses, but I received them too late to get them in. It is OK though, a little color there is fine. It does look cleaner without the reflector....lol, but there was a part of me that really wanted to leave them just to irritate some :-).
