Couple more.

The blue looks great in person, just never worked in pics.
The mirrors were the hardest part of the project.

I am a stay at home dad, time is not a problem. Did it all in one day. Just bought a couple rolls of material and started cutting. The crazy thing was that I only had a 3' strait edge so each side is made up of 3 parts that were cut one at a time and when I got the the rear of the car on each side it was a perfect match.

Some pics of my C4, not sure which year is which but all are from Natls:

As you can tell from pic #1 I was not always a Mazda guy. Back then we were in SS with the RX7tt.

Yes in pic #5 the front tire is off the ground, that car had tq and stick.

I did part of this car, was done when he bought it but we changed car #s and sponsors as well as over time it has needed a touch up or two. Had the T2 pole at the 05 runoffs , was on Speed TV.

Haha, I see you finally found a car for Jessica. Love how you have all the decals in the right spots.

I think I have some small cones sitting around somewhere if you want them...

Saw one at the Atwater event and had to get it. For now we drive it, when she gets strong enough to turn the wheel she can go on her own.

Did you also notice the negative camber.

You didn't miss much, other than me getting destroyed by everyone. ChopsMcGraw (Elliot) made the trip from Arizona, so you guys got no excuse.

On the upside, I owned the champion's time when he drove my car during fun runs. (anxiously awaiting funny/ownage comeback from champion).

It was fun to come run with you guys again, didn't have to bring a calculator to figure out finishing order. Not too mention getting over 50 mph on course again. the 80 degree weather was nice as well, don't have to water the tires BEFORE my first run

See you guys in July.

Oh, and thanks for the question answering Jason, one of these days I'll run out of them.
