Default Green Machine - almost done

Well... except for the front splitter, the car is complete Needs a good washing <grin>.

My shop has a very talented fiberglass/carbon fiber friend who is going to try to make the splitters work. I am scared to think how many man hours have gone into it already...but have been assured this friend will make it work. He is the carbon fiber guy for Ferrari of Houston... not going to be cheap

Hope you like "almost done" photos. I'm sure my friend JAA will post some better pics.

Wow that color is awesome. Now get some hardback sport seats and paint them to match!!!! I like the black wheels but I'd love to see what it'll look like with a set of Speedlines.

got rid of the windscreen washers for a cleaner look... would have prefered sunroof and rain gutter delete, but it was cost prohibitive I am a self admitted cheapo at heart <grin>.

Delete rear bumperettes
Add a set of speedlines
Paint lower RS panels black
Add recaro pole positions with green painted back

Perfection

I love the green, but I gotta admit it just doesn't flow for me.
I think it is the big spoiler in the back, it just ruins it for me.
Maybe once the splitters are on the front it will balance better.
Please keep posting pictures, I have enjoyed watching the build.

I APPLAUD anyone who would take on one of these projects! And I do like the rear wing. Have to agree with grinch here about the wheels though. Just not a big fan of black wheels, unless maybe on a white or silver car. And these seem to take away some of the impact of the body color, which is very cool. But then again, wheels are a very personal choice.
