I know you cant please everyone... but the ideas for the colors came from these cars. The car needed to be unique and it needed to stand out. While trying to mimic a race car we ended up with the 2 Tone Power Enterprise Scheme.
Props to the person that mentioned the Porche Cup cars.
The car isnt finished yet. Like I said it just needed to be rolled out for the show even if it was not yet done because the main goal was to make it to this show. More work is in place. Yes new side mirrors will be in place as well as rear CF difusers thats why the rear looks unfinished with that curve in the back.
The CF A pillar was a last resort option coz we broke the original ones while painting.
New plates are coming... WDLOAD

Don't you hate that? Seems like so many people don't fully understand that tire sizing method. (Although you can't really blame people, because it is such an unintuitive method)
But for what it's worth, a 355/25 is actually a pretty thin sidewall: only 88.75 mm. My 275/40/18 is 110 mm, while a 275/35/19 is 96 mm.

Incredible car. Very nice work. Congrats.
Words fail me. If someone had told me what the colors were to be I would have said yuck, but it looks sooo good. Like a race car.
Nice!

Ok! Here is my .02 (like u asked for it).
1. I love the front and rear fenders! Just not together. Look like they did amazing work though.
2. The front bumper is really too stock looking. Maybe if it was more radical like the rest of the car it might bring the two fenders together.
3. New License plate - BabyBlue&Periwinkle Track
4. Wheels are amazing!
5. Overlays look hot!
6. brakes are insane!
You said she is only 80% finished. Can't wait to see how she all comes together. Congrats on the completion.

something i just noticed from the new pics, the way the widebody front fenders end are strange. the wide fenders should carry all the way down to where the side skirt is, or the angle that it cuts off shouldnt be so dramatic.
