It finally hit me why the car looks so much more aggressive to me , aside from the stance - No front bumper. You HAVE to leave it off!

Thanks guys. Honestly, positive feedback on the site helps cool the pain of some of the hickups in the project lol.

I tried to find a pic of V2.0 to compare to some of the pics I took today. This is the best I could find after a quick search. Different cameras and angles but you can see how much different the rear of the car looks compared to before.

Love the stance man, glad that things are working out better now. Speaking of the position of the front wheels, I have got Speedtech front clip complete kit, and the front wheels on both sides are positioned farther back in the wheel well than center like yours. I don't know if it's an alignment issue or it is something normal with Speedtech front clip kit.

LoL. You had a PT car and changed it into a race car. Grass is greener man. I sometimes think how much easier it would be if this was a track car and I didn't have to worry about comfort lol.

BTW I keep forgetting to bring them over to Brett's to compare the size but I bought two 427 emblems already that attach with the 3M double sided tape. I want them to be about the same size as the factory 327 even if they aren't the same font. The 427 emblems I picked up looked short in person but we'll see.

Hey man I woulda done the big RTTC 80 mile cruise if they woulda had it the day BEFORE the event like it shoulda been. :D

I'm diggin the 427 emblem idea. :woot:

So... once this thing is ready and delivered to you, how long before you schedule a track day? 1 week? 2 weeks? :unibrow:

Hmmm we'll see once everything is done. I always kinda liked having the front bumper and it hides all the paint chips in the lower valence lol :) But I'll consider it.

The car went from good to great. Stance is everything when it comes to the look.
