Dont tell me that pin striping doesn't look mad!! the calais moulds look tacky, the pics still dont make it look like how it does when your actually looking atthe car but it gives an indication!! i reckon it looks PHAT. the trim looks immaculate too! front seats are going in now but i had to duck off just before they put them in Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'll be honest with you and say I don't really like the doors. The rest of the car looks great though. If you're happy with the way it looks then that's what matters... I just think the moulds help fill out the bottom of the doors and continue the factory lines of the car... Calais side skirts too Interior looks nice as well, good colour choice.

One more vote for calais moulds here lol not that that looks bad i just think the calais moulds would set it off but as said above but as long as your happy who gives a **** lol. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Love the car but the doors do let it down a bit in my opinion, even some executive moulds with orange beneath them? It just looks a bit weird with the chunky back and rear bar and the nothing on the side, looks like a car with a big bodykit missing the sideskirts kinda... you need no front bar or all steel bars to pull off nothing on the side imo... Don't get me wrong though, i love it and it makes my pants feel funny, the sides just aren't quite my thing thats all especially like the shute setup, is that alloy?

na its stainless i think, everyone has an opinion and im a bit different in terms of what i like and i absolutely love the way it is with the pin stripes!! its one of those things you have to see in real life i think, as for the track, well taken this engine to another level, mid 9's should be achievable now not the east coast nationals coming up but the next big meeting should see me in some heads up off the tree racing, spool time... who needs 5 seconds to get boost... not me can some1 photoshop it with calais moulds on it..??

tuff jules, very tuff. if you are going to go with no door moulds you should fill in the groves in the bars so it all looks smooth. imo calais moulds would look better though. good on u for trying something different

thanks mate, the side of the car isnt finished yet, i still have a few things to do to make it look a little fuller, but in my opinion, when im looking at the car when its right there in front of me... it looks PHAT!!! i might actually pin stripe the bars as well to follow the same suit..not sure yet but ill c how it goes..

Im with Brad, if you must have that look with the doors, smooth the bars aswell, would look good. Congrats on it so far.

im thinking of pinstriping the bars to follow the doors, the side will fill itself in with other stuff thats going on the side. just think of over ****hp hitting the floor through one mother of a slick.. WHEELSTANDS GALORE!!! no 1 will be looking at the side skirts fellas Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
