I like it, but he NEEDS to add covers to go over the headlight holes. Right now those headlight hollows are creating a fair amount of form drag!

I like it, but the black wheels are overkill on that car. If they were a satin finish metal I think it would complement the car much better. With a flush aerodynamic cover or some better fairings the headlights wouldn't be too bad at all.

Headlight covers would indeed be the icing on the cake. Black wheels on a black car look awesome. I would go into debt for that car in a heartbeat.

Eh--not bad. I am not doubting the car's performance or credentials one bit, but appearance-wise, not my cup of tea.

Reminds me of the "LeMans 962" in the new Excellence--bad-*** performer, even pretty wicked looking, but that yellow paint and interior killed it for me.

The description is something like this (translated by me):

Special made Öhlins struts with raised connection points (not proper word)
Sellholm (Swedish Rally/racing parts producer) adjustable sway bar.
Adjustable topbushings (not sure about the translation), special made dropped A-arms with fully adjustable uniballs.

I hope that gives you a clue, most technichal words are different in Swedish.

One thing is clear though, it sure can be adjusted to any settings you woud ever want.

I love the car!

Those side mirrors remind me of the ones on a 360 challenge stradale.
