I hear you Reaper, unboxing it gave me a bit of a tupperware feeling after having gotten so used to my 8T... I read in the GT2 VE thread (think it was even Jspeed commenting about that IIRC) though that the stock plastic shocks are actually not bad at all and I'm sure in total it should be more than enough car for my non-competition needs; if things break they will be replaced by something better, or better looking .

Sounds awesome! If you start a thread about it, don't be shy to post a link here. I'm an on-road noob, so others' experiences are much appreciated and I would love to see where your project takes you.
