can't get over that front bumper but it might end up looking better if you added some blue to the front lip/canard things. see reference:

its going to look something like this when the car is done. more graphics are coming when time permits. front bumper was already on the car. i gotta work with what i have.:P hate it or love it, it is what it is a btcc replica. there's more to come!

Looks good, I highly doubt the CF trim is OEM though. If you look closely you can see the factory wood underneath so it looks to be a stick on kit.

AGREED. The CF doesn't even get close to covering all the wood trim in some spots

she got a new power antenna the other day too. i killed it by opening up the trunk too fast. never had a car with a wing that can catch a power antenna. even though i did a "antenna down when trunk opens" mod, i still managed to snap it off!

this is awesome steve! i didnt catch this thread until now...i think you should repro all the decals like it was originally and throw some tritons back on it.. i am all for keeping it looking like it was meant to be at the track..even the big azz spoiler... only thing id do to it is a manual swap.. great work so far!! love what your doing with it

keep up the good work!
