Looking VERY good, Bill. I just might do the mirrors. It's only paint. My winter project's almost done as well.

I'm with you on the mirrors, I'd say keep them blue. I saw and Black RS with Orange accents recently and the eye gets stuck on the orange mirrors for some reason. They become the first thing you notice.

Awesome! The first thing I thought when I saw it, was you need to do the mirrors. When the '07 (or '08?) GT3RS came out in black with the orange wheels and trim, the mirrors were orange, and it looked great.

Mr. D's got it about 99% done. Thanks for your input on the cage. Couple of things not quite right, but they'll be fixed very soon.

Might have missed it, but what are you doing with the old wheels?

Bill, looks fantastic. Two questions... 1) what size/offset wheels did you end up buying? 2) are your skirts factory OEM or aftermarket?

Thanks,
Greg

I like it

Looks great as-is.

Or you could also do the mirrors, door-handles, rear deck insert,,, and for the pièce de résistance send the hood crest to Andreas and have him bead-blast & orang'ize it too.

Looks fantastic... love that colour combo.

Have you considered using vinyl wrap for the trim pieces so you can go a different route if and when you get tired of the look?
