It's just going to be all one color. It's orange and it's really pearly or something. It's cool. It will also have the www.aitracing.com wide-body kit on it.

I have already stolen the idea, and given my vast amounts of wealth, had my car finished already.

We are sponsored by Konig and the car is going in the Konig booth at SEMA ;)

Not everything is covered. Most of it is....we will see as it comes along what ends up not being covered. We beg for free-bees on a daily basis.

Hope you guys are doing something different with it so it doesnt look like the Full Race 240. I recommend not having mike take pictures of anything, we all know his camera skillz are the sukzorz! :D
