    Fernando strikes again! Molto benne!

    Very, VERY sharp Mike! What's a boy supposed to do to keep up with the MGs?

    Thanks everyone. I feel like a have a new car. Dan, Fernando is great - slow, but worth the wait. I was just going to get mats and ended up with an overhaul.

    I had tan carpet and had it replaced with black and put in the shelf and new daytona seats.

    Big props to my interior design consultant - Darth.

    One more pic.

    The shelf looks superb and the work appears very high quality, at least on a par with the OEM. Could I get a pic of the whole car with those Novitecs? They look awesome!

    thanks Koby - People that have seen it in person think the leather and workmanship is nicer than OEM. This is the guy (Fernando) everyone (all the dealers too) use in Southern Cal.

    click here to see pics of the new rims.

    Don't mean to be impolite, nbut any idea as to the cost of the shelf alone? Fernando put a nice blue alcantera over my instrument cluster and fixed my worn out seat bolsters. He did a greatjob. Now I think the shelf may be next!

    Can you put your golf clubs up on the back shelf?

    I can fit them in the trunk. Never tried on the shelf - before or after.

    Looks outstanding. Love the license plate too. First time I have seen a graphic other than State Assoc. on a plate before.

    Love your license plate. I didn't realize you could use symbols on it.

    thanks in CA you can use the following symbols "star" "hand" "heart"

    It is interesting how more people don't get the meaning than do. Obviously you got it.

    How're you liking the KN? Any difference? Butt dyno says the 97 is faster than the '01, and the techs confirm it. Anything to get back the robbed power is good.

    I believe I feel more pull at higher RPMs than without the K&N and x-pipe. It seems I am shifting much later.

    Here is the car starting up now - it definitely sounds meaner.

    The one I saw was red/tan. You can see that his work is as good as the factory! Fernando may have pics.
