fly, didn't know you were going to tackle that one too!

a buddy of mine dug some up for me. from afar, the car looks grey or gunmetal to me but upon closer inspection, it appears that all the body panels are made of carbon fiber !



anyway... i might hold back on this one as you'll probably do it more justice than any of my attempts .

Yup carbon fibre all round on that beast!

I want to try to build that one. The bodykit looks managable to recreate, with a little care, but it's the HKS decals that are gonna be the hardest part.

Think I'm gonna hold out until The Fly works his magic.

Chris,
I don't think you need to explain anything, or prove yourself to us, most here know how long you have been working on SAS.....

Anyway, back to the topic in question, the best selection of pics i've come across are those at Speed options

There's also a handful of good pics at Super Street Online

Besides these you will find plenty more by using Google image search and amongst the galleries of the SEMA 2001 show - i think???
