All the winglets on the front and the diffuser aren't my thing (way too many angles and lines going on back there). But I like the trunk. Just paint the lip spoiler too. Then mate it with a black hood and roof vinyl.

Nice shots! Yesterday was a perfect day for pictures.

White trunk until you get a CF hood and/or paint your roof. As is, it doesn't flow.

I think i'm going to do a community response for this post.

..thanks for everyone's input and feedback about the trunk. It seems there are a lot of differing opinions about what to do with it.

At this point, i'm not exactly sure which way to go with it.

Options are:

A) leave it be
B) swap the white trunk back
C) swap the white trunk a install a cf decklid and roof diffuser
D) leave the black trunk and paint the roof black, install atlp roof decklid, painted white to match trunk decklid
E) ?

darn.. I thought the rear diffuser was wide enough to reach the ends of the aspec rear...

here's a pointer... see if you can find a CF guy near your area that can cut the diffuser in half and make a flat CF panel that you can rivet to the current rear diffuser and have them mount it on top of the cut... should be I guess 1foot wide and 1foot long that should do it...

as for swapping the trunk... dude fuck that leave it as is.... worry about dropping the blower back in

Looking sick as usual.

Lovin' the S2000.

I would say keep the black trunk if you were to keep your hood black.

Otherwise...seems a little out of place IMO.

yeah man the car looks good but doesn't feel the same or as aggressive without the black roof and carbon hood. you need to get that redone and a new hood.

Looking fly as usual Eric I'd keep the trunk the way it is, looks very unique! Shit, your entire car is unique

Edit: Painted roof would look real nice

Thanks to everyone individually for their input and comments.

There is no telling what it will ultimately look like.

I'm crazy.

..I'm about to build a model of Type One in Japan. At the moment i'm still a little confused about the layout of the shop. I hope it turns out!

Right now i've got the white Spoon s2000 and the yellow/blue Fit. The corner windows of the shop will be in that general vicinity.

Check it!














I've gotta figure out which cars to make and which colors to make them

I'm thinking:

NSX - Red
DC5 - yellow/blue
CTR - white
CL7 - silver
??!

Hey, LEGOs used to be the shit. I remember a set I had, it was four plates of a truck stop. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
