Tennis, anyone
well theres at least 2 ways to go about it. body panals, and paint. i went with mariah for the simple fact that i like the look of the front end, and side skirts, i made the rear skirts behind the rear wheels out of fibreglass along with side brake scoopes between the rear wheels and the doors. i also 'glassed-on a 2ed gen rear spoiler and that had to be molded in, i didn't want that 'bolted-on' look.
i wouldn't say it's one-of-a-kind, but it's close. IMO

If you have $$ or can work fiberglass,try making unique changes to the body kit.I had my Wings West side skirts blended into the Mariah fenders,had my rear skirt molded to the bumper cover and had the hood scoop and oil cooler nostril fabbed.
Not cheap to pay out for body work,but if you can do it yourself,it can be affordable.....

Dont hate......;-)
Im not rich and I dont pay people to do my work,except the paint and body....better to let a pro handle that.Took almost 10 years to get this far.Once the 20B goes in next spring,its done and done.
Cant say Im planning on being in SoCal soon,but I am planning on some road track time someday(when the paint gets some chips).For the time being,it remains my daily driver as Ive always intended it to be,though I did remove the trailer hitch since the paintjob.
No much of a car show/club kinda person myself,Id rather just wrench and drive......

Entire S5 engine will sell as a running unit once the 20B is smogged and approved.

it wont be one of a kind, but the mirrors that mount to your fenders are original and in my opinion very stylish looking. (also JDM if thats what you're goin for)
