Congratulations, thats a great looking car.
Did you drive it from michigan to Maryland? When were you on the road with it? The reason I ask is that Northeastern Ohio had a ton of snow, fri., sat., and sun. And, I think Pennsylvania had terrible weather also.
did you get it back home before the bad weather hit? I'd hate to drive a McLaren in snow, for my own well being.......
I flew out Thursday, and was home by Thursday evening. Though there wasn't any on the roads, it snowed the whole way! The car was filthy when I got it home, but I did do a quicky wash on it Sunday. It had to be a quicky wash as it wasn't much more than 40 degrees!

As for the radio, I don't want to hack anything up, but perfect originality doesn't bother me too much either (sorry Sandy) as the car is definitely sweet, but not perfect. It would need a lot to be perfect, and I just want to drive!
The car will never really be parked anywhere where it is likely to be broken into, but I am not too sure I want some wild looking head unit anyway. I'll look into this more, I really want a CD player. Maybe I can come up with a later factory CD player and adapt without damage.
On the Bassani exhaust, is it stainless? I am currently looking at Magnaflow and Borla. Both are stainless, but I am worried about the dreaded drone. How is your's?
I think I'll order that new Pro5.0 stick, it looks to be the ticket.
What windshield does our cars take? Is it available? Mine is fine, I'm just making sure.
Thanks Guys!!!

The Bassani is a great exhaust system I would not have gotten it if it werent. Yes it is stainless steel. The quality is superb! I wish I had links but if you check the internet you can find many soundwaves of exhaust systems. As someone already mentioned winshields are the same just tilted, I wish we knew the exacts on the side windows though.
