Glad you like it, of course... but, I left tu-tones in the '50s and just can't force myself back.

I didn't think that I was going to like it, but it turned out really well. Nice job!

I find it "interesting" that you have body colored side scoops but covered the gas door in carbon flash. Seems very inconsistent to me. Also, the cutoff at the front end seems very arbitrary. IMO would look better if it didn't extend past the hood onto the front fascia. But, if you like it, that's all that matters.
