I am the proud owner of a Tornado Red 90 Carat -- although I can't say that
it is "sweet" looking when you get up close.  The D.P.O.'s really didn't
take care of anything inside or out, and all of my money is going to
mechanical things first (including fuel lines).  I don't know if there will
ever be any $$ left for cosmetic issues.  (Just how did the DPO knock holes
in the bottom corners of the fiberglass bumpers, anyway?)

Thanks,
Michael Townsend
