wtf that wing is like the size of the trunk...

and this is in the wrong section. off topic media.

The lighting in the first pic makes it kind of look like a convertible- anyone else think this? I'm not much for show cars but at least the vehicle will have someone who will take good care of it.

You forgot to mention the Z3 fenders in the exterior list

The car is quite...busy. There's a lot going on there.

I thought the same thing! The only thing that gives it away easy is the B-pillar.

Well, I'm not a fan of the show mods, but I do think the show mods are a good start. What cam is in the head? How fast has it ran, or do you know?

I just sold my show car back in June. I dumped more than 15k on the damn car and was to scared something mitght happen to it, so I didn't drive it, anyways buying something that is already done is the way to go if you ask me, that way it wont hurt as much if something happens to it.

Honestly, and this has nothing to do with you, I don't like the car at all. If anyone else owned it, I still wouldn't like it.

Here is my reasoning:
- That front bumper and wing aren't to my tastes
- The wheels should be black to match the paint on the car, there is nothing silver on that car, they just don't go
- I cannot stand when people paint cars and make imaginary body lines with the paint. On cars that don't have lines there in the first place it looks funny
- Z3 fenders....ehhhh I guess cause its a show car but they do nothing for me
- Tinted stock tails with a clear reverse light would look worlds better.
- Oh and the CF hood should be painted black to tie into the car, it sticks out too much and matches nothing.

If you like it, thats all that matters, but the car is personally not my cup of tea and not well thought out in the exterior category.

I don't like it at all.

I agree it looks all off. the fake lines make it look terrible. the front looks way off in that color. my buddy has the same front in blue and it looks way better

The wing is terrible. The wheels don't go at all. There is a nice list of parts that give it some good potential to be really nice.

The front bumper looks like someone made it themselves in a kitchen. It doesnt line up with the sideskirts at all. I'm just saying.

the car is alright though.

Unstreched tires and about 2qts of oil would have made the car better when I saw it. Seriously you should save the crank now and swap rod bearings first thing they were definately hurt running that long with that low oil.

I like it except for the MAD TYTE JDM YO WING!!!! At 60mph the front wheels are gonna come off the ground.....

If you do that...it will be a MUCH nicer looking car IMO. It needs some TLC and lovins. Give it lovins!!!
