Thanks for sharing.
I've been thinking about the clear corner lights - this helps me picture them a little better.
Nice looking car!

Everything looks great to me! I would love to see some pictures that show the full car from a front angle, that would make it easier to see the entire splitter and how it flows with the rest of the car!

Those wheels are lovely. If the factory wheels ever wear out or break I'd like some of those unless they are very expensive. I have requirements for wheels on my 'beaters'. They have to be round and hold air.

Looks good. I like the front splitter, rotors and lights. However, not a fan of chrome wheels. Those would look much better in black on that red car, (IMHO).
