Otherwise, I thought the body looked pretty good, but the rear mesh area still looks a little too large. The other thing about this kit are the horrible seats. I'll certainly be 'overcoming' these issues on my build.
What are your thoughts on the P/E? I have a lathe and am prepared to use it. Me personally I'd love to see a set of OZ wheels for this car. Now that I have the kit I would absolutely love to super-detail it, there are so many references on the net for this car, just don't know if I could pull it off. I think the major downfall of this kit is the wheel/tire size as mentioned here.

Mike.
