Love it. Get some skirts on her quick to protect the rockers and quarters. Rock dings are going to be very noticeable on that color quickly. I might have done the mirrors in gloss black to match the wheels and add some contrast. Would have change the badges to black also, but very regardless.

I agree that the wheels are a little too big to scale. Almost resembles a Hot Wheels car... but cool if that’s the look that you were going for...

Edit: Any rubbing in the fender well?

Any plans for aero bits? It's begging for a splitter, spoiler, sideskirts

splitter,sideskirts yes...spoiler probably not.i like the flow of the body and its curves.i think a spoiler may take away from that.

Not quite my taste in color, but props for what looks like a very nice wrap job!

Shame there's no plan for a spoiler. At least a small Stage 1 or similar would really set off the rear. The one discussed in the DAR Spoiler thread would look good on there, too!

Love the wrap and the design of the wheels. But the wheel size looks goofy as ****.

Rear wheel looks fine but front looks way too big. Not a fan of 2/3pc wheels- looks too busy. And it needs a spoiler or wing or something. Definitely needs a splitter and side skirts. Love the wrap color.
