Finally got my mk4 registered and taken on its first trip. The car ran great and everyone seams to love it. Although I have to admit I’m kinda disappointed that the build is over as it was fun, minus the body filler dust. I’ll post more pictures as I get them.

Woo hoo! You obviously navigated the Michigan assembled vehicle process. Congratulations. Now go enjoy it. Sounds a bit like me. Can't wait for the first drive to see what it's like. Then start racking up the miles. Then start missing the build. :(

Congratulations, she looks terrific!

I look forward to seeing more pictures of the finished car.

I hope you get an extended driving season before you have to put her up for the winter, so you can enjoy driving her a bit.

Congratulations again!

Regards,

Steve

Looks great, nice photo. The colors are more dramatic in person, we'll work on that.

Thanks for the ride. Incentive greatly appreciated.

Remember - the only safety is that thin wire between your brain and right foot. You're gonna need it.

The grey/ silver color is based on the Mini Cooper color Royal Grey (color code A48) but with a little more pearl in it to give the color a good flop where the light hits it. The red for the stripes is the Dodge Viper non metallic red done in a traditional block stripe pattern with no pin stripes. So far I love the car and the looks and thumps up you get driving it put a smile on your face. As Jim said you defiantly need to have your A game going when driving it as mine is not a rookie car, but then again 655 ft-lb of torque will do that. But it’s truly a great and it’s all I hoped it would be and much more. I have no doubt Factory Five was the right choice and I would love to do it again. This was a easy fun car to build and they just flat out perform when the build is done. If Dave reads this, I want to say thanks for the kit and keep up the great work. Your products are truly first rate and service after the sale is even better. Now if we can just get a couple more days in the 60’s here in Michigan before the snow starts flying.

Come on, man! One photo? Show that beauty off.

I do understand if you don’t have time for photos because you are trying to get in some miles before the snow flies.

Congratulations. Looks fantastic.

Ok, today I was putting some paint protectant film on it so in a way I was busy. I have a couple pictures of it in the garage but it doesn’t show the true color of the caras it looks darker then it actually is. In person it goes from charcoal grey to silver. The red, well it’s viper read from the new ACR viper so it’s very red. It’s one of those colors you need to see in person. Sorry for the poor lighting. I need to get Jim over again to to take some good pictures of the car with his nice camera.957929579395794957959579695797
