So is that overspray on your nails? Or did you coordinate your 'outfit' with the car?

Awesome project and bravo on the color for departing from the trend.

Would you mind sharing specs (size & offset) on your Campy wheels?

Thanks and hope to see this one in person. I’m in Westchester NY so not far (relatively) from NJ.

Hi I know I am late to the party. So what a great car you have. The color thumbs up. My worthless 2 cents. When I think R. I think small almost dainty and light. Your bumpers are nice but to me look big strong and heavy. They look to RSR for an R. Neat you did not flare the front but SC rear is still wide. Crash bumpers are for sure are not easy to soften up. This is kinda what i mean. Again very nice car you have. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1742156370.jpg

The bumpers weigh less than couple pounds! They are all fiberglass. My point was to retain stock appearance and knock off the weight.

I don’t wanna gas you up too much, but like I said already this is your best one yet. Well done

LJ851 03-16-2025 03:50 PM

Car looks amazing, well done !

Where did you source those fiberglass bumpers? Did they fit reasonably well ?

F-S-H

Every glass part needs work to fit, but these are pretty good
