I'm noticing a couple of things about the cars that excite me:
1. The ride height is super important. Lowered but not slammed. There shouldn't be a lot of open space between the tire and the fender
2. There should be a very slight rake from back to front with the back being slightly higher (exactly as shown above)
3. The proportions of old and new parts don't always work; there's a certain 'tone' or 'feel' that I think the designers were going for and I think that this the main reason why the Magnus cars look good: they feel balanced overall
4. Mirrors are important and are difficult to get right. It's a real pity that the bases of mirrors didn't keep the same hole pattern from model to model because changing mirrors becomes very expensive. I personally like the black '74 mirror but impossible to find
5. Nothing larger than 17" wheels looks good on these cars
6. Bumper pad delete but keeping stock bumpers doesn't look too bad and is growing on me
7. Some colors look better than others. I find that Guards Red looks great on these cars as well as silver. Mine is white.
8. Still debating whether polished petals on the Fuchs are ok on SCs and Carreras.
9. Ducktails can go either way. Whale tails just don't do it for me
10. I am starting to like the black ring around the headlight if the rest of the car has anodized black trim
11. I also like the black magnetic stone guards that I have on my car. I think they set the contrast very well
What else?
