Default I love spring

Sneaked in a quick 50mi before the snow/sleet hits. Very pleased w/ the changes
The changes sure made a difference, we'll have to wait till early May to see how it is on the track.

New RS wheels, RS uprights/tierods, scoops(mit position lights), RS sways f/r

I'm still debating w/ myself about that. I do sortta like it, or maybe Gulf orange. I know that my paint guy will want to do them body color.

Crazy HAWT, with much drool factor!

Where did you get the headlight washer plugs?

Do I see different colored wiper blades?

Are the yellow tinted headlights legal?

In France they are, but at least Bill lives close to Montreal so I think they are legal. Simply one of the most awesome NB on the forum. Technicaly speaking this car is even better than a cup car to me. How do you work on a car over the winter, coooold. Awesome Bill, can't wait to see if you a grinning more on the track.

No one's questioned it , yet. But the yellow is just a laminate, it should peel off

There were certainly several very uncomfortable dyas under it back in Jan and Feb.

But as far as I'm concerned it's still winter, there's a blizzard outside right now. Just heard the southern end of it closed DFW airport

Yes, paint the ducts orange!

The headlights threw me off for a second.

Hi Bill; you keep improving your rolling piece of art !! Amazing!

I'll take your car's appearance in a slightly different direction - regular headlights, clear corners, and silver ducts with lights. ( kind of gives it a monochrome look)
please excuse the quick photoshop hack.






Hope that you get some good driving weather soon

Always loved your ride and now even more with the wheels. I wouldn't do the ducts in orange just like I would never paint mirrors a different color, I just think it's wrong. Black is fine but body color is my choice.

Bill, your car is pure hottness. I like Max's suggestions but for a Riviera track beast like yours, I really like the orange accents. Go with Gulf orange scoops!
