Please comment: RSR XRX (license plate) + current photos
I'm thinking of ideas for a personalized plate. Would you know that this (RSR XRX) means RSR Xerox (copy). The car looks the part. I can add RSRXROX OR RSRXERX, but not sure if it is any clearer and I like the space between.
BTW - the car goes in today or tomorrow to Jae Lee at Mirage International for corner balance and alignment! OHHHH YEAH!!! Thanks for your comments. Candid commentary appreciated. Thank you in advance! Doug

Wow. Where has that thing been hiding? I like RSR XRX with the space. On short notice I came up with RSR FAX as in facsimilie. Whatever you call it, it sure is sweet.

BTW since you asked....
I would put a black line above the rocker to define the transition in the sheet metal. Are you going to put in amber turn signal lenses?

Jorian,
Yes, I've got amber lenses upfront. Actually, I have two pairs. I believe they are euro style (with small clear spot portion of lens). Doug

That car is AWESOME.
Slightly off topic, tell me about that side view mirror. And do you have one on the passenger side too? Thanks.

Thanks for all of the good ideas!
SandyI, The mirrors are Vitaloni Californian. They are pretty cheap and light weight, aerodynamic. I'm kind of liking RSRZROX (only 7 spaces available). Thanks SAMMYG2, any comments on that? Doug PS - here's another shameless photo for your veiwing pleasure

Sammy,
It was just a twinkle in my eye most of last year, so no. I bought it through Dave at TRE in October 2004, had in painted at Axiom Motorsports (Los Angeles) and have been redoing the wiring, exhaust, suspension, interior, oil cooler system, brakes, etc, etc, since March '05 You should fall in love again at an event near you very soon ;-) !!!

Thanks for the info on the mirrors.
Where do you buy them? Good choice on the license plate. What about "FAT BOTM" ?

Would love to see that thing on the track.
Consider the upcoming POC short track event in September.

I plan to attend some events. I need to learn to drive first. I can wrench, but not drive ;-) I'll dig out my invoice for the mirrors. I believe RDANE on this board pointed me towards reasonably priced ones.
If you see the car, say hello - would love to meet you. Doug
