Matte Fathom Green with the graphics being the exposed gloss carbon could be interesting. No matter the color or graphics I like the direction of this build........keep the pedal down.

Funny thing is I feel the same way. Black is beautiful when it's clean, but I'm like you, I would ruin it. I would not keep it clean. I like black on someone elses car.

Not to mention, black car in dead of summer on asphalt would need a killer Air conditioner, and a cool suit. The car is looking great Mark! Those carbon parts sure fit good. Any guesses at finished weight? I'll guess 3,000 lbs. looking forward to seeing it run at Motorstate!

I think I am the only one that doesn't care what color you paint it......

11" wheel in the front?....305/30-19 Hobaugh ran very close to you with much less power, that has to be in the back of your mind. I understand the engineering behind "bigger tires are not always faster" but isn't grip king?

I'm curious what those Anvil parts actually weigh. I believe they are 125 lbs lighter than a totally stock setup, but did you run full steel hoods and inner fenders before ?

Anyway if you happen to weigh them let us know. I agree the fit is fantastic, just don't expect that out of aftermarket or composite parts, put the two together and to have that nice of a fit is amazing.

also, do you measure oil temp before or after it goes through the engine ?

New parts looks great! I've been thinking about going with grand sport style stripes or some other way to show them off as well.

I'd add a couple hundred more to that for my guess.

Those Carbon Parts look great Mark, Looks like Anvil did their homework on them!

I'm not usually a white person..but in Marks case..and how hard he is on a nice new paint job lol. I think its a pretty good idea. I really like something like this Camaro. With the carbon strip exposed up the middle, front the header,hood and wiper panel.
