beautiful car, Damon obviously has a real eye for detail....the wheel colour works perfectly....i  dont imagine they'd look anywhere near as nice on a darker car.

i'd love to see some more of it.....

I have one strong memory of that car, besides seeing it in person at the 06 classic; beautiful car. There was a thumbnail picture in VW trends, I think, that was describing a record for the number of IDAs in attendance at a single show. There was a plaque, with half an IDA body, pictured next to that cars super clean engine. Funny how things like that stick in ones mind.

Probably the nicest guy you will ever meet from DKP. A real down to earth person. IMO his ride is wicked as fuck with BIG POWER & high CR mill.
Here's a litlle trivia about Damon...the first person to win 1st place in DRKC when it originated. Also one of the Three Amigos....Haha!
I think he just recently changed his wheel setup to 5 spokes...

Great guy & an even better friend !! Who is really considered the only Amiga of the three Amigos.
His car is beautiful. I keep b*tching him to bring it around more.

Good Idea, but I think just this thread will get Him to the Lurking status.

Was good to talk to Damon and Jose at the Pre-Classic DKP Cruz Night. Damon has one of the cleanest Cal-Bug. Ya Ben, if you have connection with Damon, get him on here, one of the nicest guys to talk to.
