Got it back in March from BaT. Only issue so far was a drip from the rear seal on the trans. Local shop took care of that for $100 while I waited. It's pretty clean underneath. Currently fixing stress cracks & damage to the running boards (when it isn't 100deg+)
Body kit is off right now for repair, reinforcement & new paint. Header tank crapped out last week, replaced that with a spiffy new one (Dorman, ops ck ok)
On "The Playground" section of Mulholland a couple of weeks ago... shortly before I blasted past some slow putz in a Caddy CTS-V coming out of a corner, perfectly timed so I was right on his bumper as the road straightened. Bet that woke him up...
Those are fun roads to drive in "spirited" fashion . . . when the idiots aren't around driving crazy . . . especially the crotch-rocket motorcyclists that are all over both lanes trying to outdo each other all the time.
. . . idiot cousin that does the same corner the same direction twice as fast with his tires on the paint stripe and his helmet squarely lined up with the driver's side headlight of my oncoming pickup truck . . . for example.
I couldn't find a picture of this, but happens all the time on Angeles Forest and Angeles Crest Highways and similar. Even the rider in the picture is right against the line if not over by a smidge.
Disclaimer: I don't begrudge motorcyclists having some fun etc. even when a little unsafe, but when it becomes every weekend having to dodge oncoming helmets when they're waaaay too tight in these left-hand corners is needlessly stupid. I can't count how many of them have been saved by me swerving inwards when they do this.

A few weeks back I was on Mulholland coming up to a left hander. Group of scooter riders going the other way. Two squids came around the corner right on the double yellows & were intending to cross them to pass the scooters... except there I was.... Was sure they were going to hit. Got it all on the front & rear cams.
Rear view after he squeezed past & almost rear-ended a scooter:
