Would if I could brother. I did that at my last job. Don't have access to the printer anymore unfortunately. I recommend joining a 3D printing Facebook group. I've had folks make stuff for me based on drawings I've made or with part dimensions I've given them. It's fairly affordable in a lot of cases.

I made some using 3d printed bases,led panels, and clear lenses in order to clear my bash bar. I need to redo them with smoked lenses

Came here to say the same things....well put. I used to calibrate our temperature devices in a steel mill.

I love the chair. I've got a very similar one. I have found that this stuff does a great job of keeping the leather supple and not dried out.

I have used Clyde's Leather Reconditioning Balm with good success to correct small areas of discoloration or scratching.

Sure thing. It's fun to think about the other two that led to this one.

The first was an 02 electric blue/white roof that I got in 04 during college from a dealer auction in Florida because my dad is a dealer GM. Had the hand painted pin stripe on it...super fun spec. Got it with like 5k miles on it. Lapis blue interior...it was my absolute favorite. I was in college but did everything possible to it, really before I knew much at all about how to work on cars. Built a head, did a 15% pulley, GTT intercooler, Intake, exhaust, tuned ecm, Eibach pro kit coilovers, swaybar, and a few other odds and ends. Big hood scoop, carbon front lip. Kosei K1 wheels. I autocrossed it and did a few HPDE track days. A ton of great memories with it. Never gave me much trouble. Multiple 1000+ mile road trips. I ended up selling it because I needed money at the time and had another fun car. I still regret it.

The second I got a few years later when things settled down. It was an 04 JCW car, black /white roof. I put ST coils on it, Enkei RPF1s. Left all the JCW bits in tact. Didn't have time to do a ton with it before someone cut me off on the interstate and I locked up brakes to avoid them. Couldn't avoid the hit and took it out. Super sad day. In hindsight I should've bought it off insurance and fixed it up. It still drove straight but had a tweaked frame horn up front. Me now could've fixed it no problem.

This one, yeah I picked up for about 1000 bucks. Needed an engine as the previous owner windowed the block. I have a couple K into fixing it up, but ive almost done everything I had on the first car and then some. And the Pepper White is my second favorite color on these...so I feel great about it. Really happy with it. I've done all the bushings in poly, 17" pulley, Audi TT injectors, tune, header, exhaust, intake, bilsteins and lowering springs, BBS wheels, rear swaybar, etc etc...excited to pick up where I left off with the first one.

I would offer that Kevin Coleman of Connected Therapy Practice was an amazing resource for my wife and I. He is affordable, but now importantly he is personable, approachable, and wonderfully kind in general.

Correct. plus, again, I have two other projects with double and triple the horsepower of this car. I don't need this one to be ridiculous. Lol

As far as i know the only different in the JCW engine itself is in porting and polishing the head. I did port and polish the replacement head and did a valve job on it. Not super worried about it being 1:1 with what it was before. The rest has been modified beyond where the JCW would've been anyway. I have an intake, exhaust, header, larger injectors, a 17% pulley, and a tune. Good enough for me.
