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!

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

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.

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.

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.

I'm diggin the 427 emblem idea.

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

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.

That timing would be pretty good if the motor was broken in. I'd say the day the motor is declared broken in is the day I'll be booking a track day!

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