Great project. The wheels look amazing, how did you get that effect? It seems the windsheld isn't properly fitted though.

Looking good!

I have this kit too and noticed the rims scale out to about 22.5" front and 23.5" rear....the real car rim sizes are 19" front, 20" rear.

The ejector pin marks ruin all the hard CF work under that hood.

I like the "bigger is better" rule when referred to rims :P
I agree about the pin marks, but your work CF was great any way.

No interior or engine yet? Willing to see them!
