Niiice!

Maybe black out the door trim? Is that air scoop adjustable? Looks like a lot more ground clearance than earlier pics...

I like the shiny door trim how it is actually, it breaks the "blackness" of the car.

The air scoop is indeed adjustable, it's operated by a linear actuator.

I'll go along with you there, but I'll have to add I might suggest adding the chrome to the rear windows as well, it does look a little uneven to me too.

Over all, just absolutely gorgeous, really mean. I may have missed this, but where did you get the CF hood from?

Have you thought about putting a spacer in the rear to get those LM's a little farther out?

Looking very nice. I too love the balance of the exposed CF touches.

Side scoops

Are those the Remmelle side scoops? Did you lip the quarter panels and set the scoops in (so they sit flush), or are they glued on top of the quarter panel with just the hole cut for the duct?

I have the same scoops and am trying to figure how I want to mount mine.

BTW, beautiful car!

Haven't had much time to work on it lately but had a few problems.

First the engine wouldn't fire, turned out the crank sensro wasn't sending a signal to the ECU. Ordered a new crank sensor but it still wouldn't fire.

Will have to check each wire, ground and connector for any faults.

Can you give me some details on how you went about installing the side scoops?
