You get so much more from a "BUILD" when every missing bolt, cursing, blood sweat and tears was of your own. When you turn the key and it comes to life...there is no better feeling ..! Too many people rely on shops to dream up, inspire, and take credit for a "BUILD". But is it really "YOUR BUILD"? :

You must mean Orange accents.

Not sure who Evolve is or what their GTS looks like.

No, I mean blue accents. As in the blue stitching, seat belts, start/stop button, etc.

Absolutely right, and good for you - been there, done that. But not everyone has the skills to do the work themselves. So, let them check off everything on a list and have someone else give them the car they want. Who cares?

As for me, after owning and working on dozens of cars, I never want to turn another wrench on one - but I’d be happy to make the choices and supervise my project at a shop like IND.

Very very nice. Congratulations!

My build would be similar, just a more subtle bonnet (hood) and everything black.

And some track biased mods... damn, I could go on forever

Nice build. I can't believe the owner didn't want to upgrade the suspension further. Especially considering the extent of the other modifications

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say? Are you meaning to direct your reply to those being critical of the owner paying others to do the work? If so, I have zero issue with hiring pros. I would personally upgrade the suspension first - prior to every mod done to the car. Not because I think I have a special 'talent' but because I think that's where the biggest enjoyment comes from these cars. Therefore, it surprises me to see that the owner chose aero, races seats, custom paint, etc. over what I believe to be the most beneficial mod that can be done to improve the car.

The KW H.A.S kit fitted to this car is somewhat of an upgrade from the stock suspension. KW V3s will obviously have full damping adjustability but I suspect the difference between both kits in non-competitive track outings will be minimal. I could be wrong.
