I like the MPD concept. You already have a unique car. So instead of painting it up just like a Gulf. You should do something custom. Maybe some candy colors etc...
Here were some other reference shots I had taken of the newer Gulf Ford style.
You might see what a ford dealer has to say.
Maybe get some Vitesse etc sponsor graphics on there![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Mike:
So far, to me this is the hottest version for Gun's car. If you can, see if you can tweak something here or there? I don't know, chance the blue a hair deeper, maybe if you can make it a tad some metallic to it? Maybe add a white-circle number plate (black lettering too) on the side door and the hood where (with a fake number in it too?) Some food for thought...

First of all Mike & Testa "I'm not worthy"
How about a meatball in the middle of the hood, just like the 917 & the GT? It'd break up that big 'ole orange line a bit.
Just thinking out loud, back to watching from the grandstands...

Mike:
Thanks for helping Guns out. I think the car looks insane with that color scheme, and where you placed the colors too. And with the addition of the Gulf and the number plate? Dude, you are without a doubt "Da Man!" You Rock!!

Thanks again guys, I dont' know about the meatball on the hood, but I am going to have drop down vents behind the intercooler and three small ones over the intake manifold.
Here's what she'll look like with no header panel (as the hood & header panel are going to be one piece. I have Mike @ IFC fabricating one for me right now.
Rolex: Dude without your ideas I still wouldn't know what this car would look like! Thanks for the prod and great posts man.

The only thing I need now is for the wing to be blue with the orange stripe and the base wing and hatch frame to be blue as it will be fiberglass and not be painted black.
Yes this will truly steal the show!

Like zis!
996 GT3 Gulf colors
You're right, the hatch needs to be blue to match the body color. The overall effect will update the look of the car as well.
see below for the wing treatment.
