I really like it. My only thought is that the exhaust is so long. Is that proportionally correct? I think if it were a little shorter in actuality that it wouldn't be so distracting.

My car is going to end up looking very similar to this, depending on the wheel selection at the end of the day!

White flares would be interesting to see, not the look he's going for but interesting. The patina'd stainless exhaust outlet would blend with the rotors. Look at the top rendering angle where the white isn't as prevalent vs the bottom. As said still early and I like where he's going with it..........fits the owner very well IMO.

I welcome all these comments for the record. I had thought about the white flares but that's a little too much and I don't like blue, white, and black all converging at the tire. Never did like that many colors there. I just cant bring myself to do black everything with the blue. To me it's like pinstripes.... no thanks. Not for me. Go big or go home.

I think the blue, black and white are just the right sizes and distances from each other. But who knows... maybe it will look like crap in person.

Thanks man... that is a 1970 Detomaso Mangusta and it was for sale last I knew for $175k.

Thanks Bryan. The exhaust is actually pretty close to the actual proportion. It's a big mo-fo.

Personally I'd dig into that rocker and raise them bitties up, that way you can get that car low as it supposed to be.


Let me know if you need anything made, I'd like to help where I can.
