Only think I could see to improve would be the addition of a CF front spoiler to match your CF rear diffuser. Otherwise, looks fantastic.
I only have two CF bits on the car - the mirror from Sector 111 and the rear diffuser, both pretty damn subtle. The front splitters to me always look like they are tacked on, so if I were going to go the splitter route, it would be painted Chrome Orange. I really like that you have to look really carefully thru the window and get down on your hands and knees in the back to see my two CF "bits".

I missed your suggestion first time through - I like it and may give it a try. I will certainly post when I do. Thanks!!

Having seen this car in person, let me say that the pictures above do not highlight how subtle everything is. I had to look twice before the changes caught my eye. They are that perfect. And, with a nod to Tim's penchant for things being perfect, even his stereo head unit bicklight is set to Chrome Orange!!

Tim, I love the look. but then, you know that.

Stupid question here.

What engine are you running? The reason I ask is I see you have the euro look with the exhaust. Is that the rover motor?


Anyways, awesome car! Looks great

nice touch with the door recess!!!

just a suggestion, since you have a rear diffuser, u may wanna also install a front lip spoiler, just to aesthetically even things out
