Did not know it was a temporary tent set up. Oddly enough for some reason pics look brighter on home computer then on office puter.
Such a great project dual exhaust set up defintitely have me interested. Tires maybe a little to big for the streets of Philadelphia but awesome size using 285's with 19x10's WHOA!!!!! I may lean toward a 18 inch package here with the wide body for spring. I am thinking maybe of color change for car too from Liquid Grey to either that 2000 Ranger metallic orange or GM's Sunburst orange mettallic. Thanks again for the fast reply on info Intuneauto

3. Paint the car black
4. Mesh grilles
5. Red calipers
6. install my exhaust

Should look wicked.

Did I read correctly the fender flares for the sedan wide body are not really a bolt/with adhesive aplication they have to be blended into the body to make it fit? I can understand a little putty incase of imperfections on the flares themselves but not melding it to the stock fenders

I thought this was a bolt on app that was the reason for having the bolts mounted and exposed on the fender for that racing modular look and for removal in the event of a little damage

The flares are bolt/with adhesive. No blending in needed. The bolts can be left exposed or covered for later removal in case of damage. Very easy install process compared to molding the pieces in place.

yea but wouldn't molding provide a wider fender well too which means you can run some wider rims/tires with less chance of rubbing?

Hi again,

So any updates or maybe pics of the Luff M1 wheels using 19x8.5 in the front and 19X10.5 in the rear. Dunlop rubber 235/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear.

What was done to the suspension of the focus for making clearence for these wheels? Is it a complete race suspension with modified control arms beyond the point of being able to be used on the street or have the ability to be installed in yet say ones driveway?

Are there pics of the under carriage showing suspension and maybe that cool looking exhaust yet?

I am not doing the turbo thing. But the look is killer.I am only entertaining the usual bolt ons Exhaust,chip for motor and to firm up the slush box and 50 shot of Zex for the engine

Oh by the way Bump

Well as far as the car goes, the car has been undergoing a transformation. It is currently getting prepared for the Track Attack being held at Willow Springs. I cannot say anything about the twin turbo setup as I am under contract since that setup was sold to an OEM company. This car will be shown again in a few weeks and will be ready for the track attack to be a major contendor. Expect some pics in August.

As far as the upper window fin, that was never made for the car. It was just on the rendering. We did attempt to make it but it was not working out the way I wanted.
