that's the next thing is doing the flares i just havent found the right one's yet.

which is pointless imo. Has no purpose or function. I hate anything that's not actual CF. Kinda seems like CF poserish.
Then again, I have a manual stick shift conversion that's kinda the same way..

i like it. i love the poke. i just agree with myxomatosis and think that the black lip kinda kills it cause it does look like an amazingly huge tire on a 14 rim...

Dang dude! Just noticed you made it in the gallery! MUCH nicer pics! Like I said, it needs to be gloss because it doesn't match the hood and when you are going skunk, that's never a good thing.

Still think you should have wrapped the trunk and mirrors.



That's pretty bad ass. It's really grown on me.

That pic does show it a lot better, I'm not hating or saying it looks bad, I just hate how everyone calls it CF, since I am paying 100's of dollars to get pieces wrapped with real CF. I looked at the drycarbon a while back, but I just didn't like that it wasn't glossy. If you make it glossy, I think it will look sick, and really match well

Oops, I meant spoiler.

Don't reclear the hood, your hood is fine. Just clear the CF vinyl!

I didn't like it initially, but it grew on me the more I looked at it. Would be neat to see in person. The only thing that still strikes me wrong is the the rear bumper, but even that gets kudos for the originality. All around good work to make a unique car.

Forgive my ignorance, but what do the fin things on the front bumper do and what are they?

they're called canards. youll see them alot on time attack cars, they are suppose to add downforce to the front end and help smooth the airflow around the side of the car

the car honestly wouldnt look bad if you left the wheels alone,
slammed it, and got rid of all that distraction

props on putting in work though

theres so much going on on the car. i think this car would look good simplified and a white/white theme with the whole wheel repainted. canards off, stickers off, bumper holes gone, and roof rack back on + white on white. i would be jizzing over this car hard. the carbon wrap could stay i think that actually looks really good.
