A view down the side with the foam sculpted and buildup underway.
I'm thinking I may extend the rear flares up to the upper body line (top of yellow tape)...thoughts anyone?
I for one like the way it is now. Im thinking it would look too massive and rounded if you went all the way up. Can you take a direct side profile pic? That may change my mind.
Why dont you make something that allows more hot air to go out?
Have you tested the air pressure zones on the hood?
This raises the hood a litle to create positive pressure, sucking the air from the radiator`/intercooler out.
I don't know for sure but this style is better for clean air extraction aerodynamic flow whereas the louvers might be better for a daily driver or autocross car that has less air flow because lower speeds and more sitting while running. This style limits air flow past engine, though better for rad flow. It would be an interesting comparison.
By my estimation in order to use the sealed passage "flow-through" style of hood vent... v-mounted radiator is required otherwise it's asking the air to move close to 90 degrees. In terms of marketability I suspect most owners aren't willing to hack up their frame. Just my thoughts.

For this to work some other work is needed yes.
But i asume this kit to be made for tracuse and not street hooning?
All right everyone, I've made a design change to facilitate ease of installation (metal work) and production. The original look can still be achieved simply by removing the lower portion of the flares.
This looks great, I am glad the update to the flares still keeps the "feel" of the body kit like the original renderings.
Any ideas on what the order different products will be released? I, like a couple others above, am particularly interested in the hatch valence.
Thanks and keep up the great work!
Here is the plan...
1. Complete the fender flare molds and produce first set. I'll layup another set of top side fender vent prototypes at this time also.
2. Mount fender flares on donor chassis and sculpt side skirts, splitter, and start sculpting hatch valence.
3. Produce side skirts, hatch valence, top side fender vents, and splitter.
The before, render, and after pics. Please ignore the lower portion the the render flares, it is not accurate. Anqui Design and I are working on a new side view render with the proposed side skirts included. That new render should be ready to drop shortly.
