love the name!!! it fits it so well.
looks awsome thats for sure, imo it need a CF header panel if your gonna keep it all exposed.
i like the new wheels but think to really set them off a red pinstripe on the lips will be AWESOME!

Ted, great name. How appropriate!
And I really like the carbon fiber hood and spoiler elements. I was considering myself doing a whole hood in black and have been looking around for examples. Your pics save me having to do a new rendering!
But seriously, it looks great with the mods you have done.

love the brakes and wheels, paint the hood and trunk leaving stripes in exposed carbon, full carbon panels don't look right to me,they need body color on them

Hey thanks, I would love to see you finish your car and get it running. I hate to see that project given up on. Do your best to keep it!

x2 on the CF headerpanel and pinstripe... (but then again im european)
and the more i look at that exhaust, the more it grows on me.. its still not prety, but it lends a clue that there is somthing japanese under the hood...

Yes I am down with the Euro cars too, but I'm hesitant to do it to a muscle car. I don't hesitate to do it to my Lambos.

im sure it will make the wheel pop much especially in lower light contitions... but its cheap to try, i mean a roll of red pinstripe tape from any crap autostore and 4 minutes of taping will provide a definate answer....
Not that im ready to break out the checkbook right now.... but what is the ballpark figure to take this car off your hands? just out of curiosity?
just watched the vid again.... damn thats a narrow powerband, it seems to come on at 5000 rpm, at wich time the car gets sideways and the gets shortshifted.... must be a beast to drive

The car can rev to 9,000rpm. Its more than enough as the power comes on very fast when it does. At least it has proven itself on the streets to other cars. With the big turbo the boost starts around 4,000rpm. But the car is geared for very quick acceleration and the lag really isn't that noticeable.
The pinstripe that I do on my wheels are always done by paint pinstriping. I'll try out the tape method to judge it. Thanks for the idea.

Actually we have the carbon fiber header panel, but not installed. We thought it would be way too much carbon fiber. We were afraid of doing the red pinstripe, trust me we thought about that. Seemed a little to euro/modern for the car. Can someone photoshop this?
