Thanks!

I should be bringing the car home tomorrow, hoping to throw up a few more photos. Also edited the first post with some more content!

Drove the car home today! Still have a lot of work to do. But I will be able to enjoy the car for a week before it goes back into the paint shop. I will try to grab some photos later.

Brought her home! More pictures on post number 1!

I like the rocket bunny in asphalt, clean yet agressive. :thumbsup:

Import-addicts.com
Do you think you could send me a really cool shot of your car by tomorrow? Thanks.
All P.M you my email.

Fark. That looks even better in black than the other colors. Way. To. Go.

All your base are belong to me.

where in vancouver how much was the bodywork and paint??

Agreed, looks awesome. It's not black though - asphalt or tornado grey in these parts, DMG or dark metallic grey in other parts.

Good luck with the publication - it is fairly unique so should be in there. I'm too old to be a boy racer so don't normally like big wings and fat kits but it looks fantastic. Actually looks like a different car with the big rear guards.

My wife loves it too, and she has much better taste than me!

If only TRD made a kit like that - LOL
