How did you do this hood? Awesome...I've always thought about a design like this in my head but never seen one. All custom?

Very sweet car.

You have a very good eye!

That is exactly what the next project will be. The front end is MUCH too high. Here are the current specs:

Front: Pavement to the bottom of the fender measures about 26 1/8".

Rear: Pavement to the bottom of the fender measures about 25 3/4".

Front: Pavement to the top of the tire tread measures about 23 1/4".

Rear: Pavement to the top of the tire tread measures about 24 1/2".

BTW, the tire sizes are: Front 225/50-15 Rear 265/50-15

Any wise advise will be greatly appreciated. :D Not even sure if I want to tackle this myself.

Where's the brown car Rod?

This "is" the brown car. If you look in the background, you'll see the old hood. I just put it on a major diet. Fiberglass flat hood, fenders, doors, lexan all around (minus windshield) 6lb braille battery and I took out all of the few remaining non essentials. Hence the respray. Overall I think I cut out 175-185 lbs. Havent driven it yet, but Im sure it will feel like a different car.

This car looks amazing. Very well done. The others look fantastic as well.

What would a body kit like this, this particular one -- professionally installed and painted -- cost? With the wing? A few years from now, this is the path I'd like to take. Thanks.

this thread needs to be first page once more

i intend on posting a pic when my car is actually photogenic ,sigh
