Freaking sick..let me know whenever you decide to sell your head lights!

"Miss Daisy" is the beautiful end result of a well planned dream. I remember when Rich first put air suspension in the "HOT BOX" which was is 2007 SC and it was a 100% bad experience for him. The average person would have given up on on the idea, and maybe the entire Element thing. But not Rich, it only made him more determined to prove to himself first, and then to everyone else, that an Element is a serious build platform. "Miss Daisy" is certainly the highest form of vendication that an Element enthusiast like Rich could possibly want. Congratulations my friend on a job beautifully done!!!

A real sweet ride and great attention to detail. Like the "Elemental" sticker location.

Chief you are too kind! Although, Miss Daisy is not finished yet, she is definitely shaping up to my vision of what a tuner E should look like. Thankyou for the kind words as it means a lot coming from the man who created Darth Raider!

Thanks guys! It's nice to see Elements, and more specifically tuner Elements, getting some attention from people who otherwise wouldn't think twice about owning one. Also, my friend who made the video is getting good exposure which is awesome...he already has another video shoot scheduled.

I've been busy with work lately, but today I had the day off so I spent the day washing and claybaring MD. I didn't get a chance to do the cleaner wax...that will have to wait until next week. It had been so long since I washed her that I had so many impurities in the paint. I guess it didn't help that I park under a tree...but it's a curb spot, so I guess it's a tradeoff?

Pretty soon on the list is exhaust(magnaflow) and interior. I'm going to do either powdercoated gloss black or bronze tip. I haven't decided if I'm gonna do leather or vinyl seats. Thoughts? Opinions?

I saw leather in Darth Raider and I must say it is must have!! It looked exquisite!!

HOTBOX1208 · 04-05-2013, 01:17 AM

Nick,
I originally wanted to do leather...but the upholstery guy started giving me options to save money. He also stated vinyl is more durable and won't fade as much...less maintenance over time. He said you can hardly feel the difference compared to leather, but it was hard for me to judge b/c when you're feeling samples...I think your mind is deceived bc you feel the backside of the leather/vinyl at the same time you are feeling the actual leather or vinyl. Does that make sense? I wanted to sit in a leather seat and then compare it to a vinyl seat...touching just the top surface. I suppose on my next day off I will go to a leather shop and look at the different options I have.
