Very nice. I am noticing that some guys have the side window delete plates, while some don't. Was that an option you decided on?

Are the welded aluminum reservoirs that are closest to the front of the engine bay included are they upgrades?  I have noticed plastic ones on most others.  Very nice touch with the caps!  Awesome car!

They are upgrades.

  The window delete is your option. When my car was delivered SA had placed them in the trunk. They attached very easy. I'm not too sure about the blackout vinyl for the inside of the window. This part I will have my window tint pro put it on the window. (This is so you do not see the back side of the window plates)
I like the way the look.

That explains it. Thank you very much. I agree, I like it that way too. In my book, it's either the window deletes with no side scoops, or windows with side scoops. It's a small detail on a very nice car.

Congratulations on the 350.  You are right - It was definitely worth the wait.  I had my musuem delivery on Friday.  Very impressive car.

Congrats!!! I know you've been waiting for it for quite sometime. I hope to see it in person soon at a car show or meet. Are you going to take it to the Sebring event?

Thanks everyone.
I've been having a blast driving around town with my son. I just cannot get enough of this car. I have notice a little dip with my left exhaust (cockeyed). I will wait awhile to see if it dips more.
Right now I just tilt my head and the dipping is gone. :hysterical:

Frank, this should only be the tip area. The other areas have been taken care of. Should be an easy adjustment.

Keep us posted at SAI.

Congrats V4U... You are very lucky fellow...

I got to sit in and start Tony's GT350 this past weekend. Sitting in it was a different experience. It felt like a race car. The gauges and seat. Then the sound... Sweet.
This 350 was special. Very special.

Enjoy it...
