the location of your rear wheel is incorect in the drawing and throws off the way that area looks on the car. and I still say round off your edges. bring the front of thr rear fender extension down so it has a more arched apperance instead of looking so boxie. the top of the rear of the front may improve if you bring that line down just a little also

not to much need to be done to that mobil one car. but IMHO it to could be improved on by smothing the top edge of the front fenders so the flowed from the top down instead of the sharp angel fromt the top to the side.

As you've already been told, chances are your not going to. Although alot of us would love one.

Here's antoehr angle of the red



And here's why you will probably never be able to have this kit.

What do you guys think of a more contemporary look, sort of a 3rd. Gen "Combat" nose and recessed lights like the ones found on Romeo's car at www.rx7s.com?

That is frickin amazing! If someone made a replica kit I would think it would sell quite well.

That is real clean... some nice integra lights, and the body work is tres beau. Don't peticularly care for the fins under the rear bumper.

I really like the airdam part of your idea, series 1. Looking better with every drawing. The widebody seems to be turning out like every other widebody out there, as far as fenders and sideskirts go.

If you're going for something smooth, just improve on your original idea. Try to redraw your original idea smoother, with more curves.

But like I said, the airdam is real nice.

Not crazy about the wing either, but love everything else... KUDOS!

Do you have other angles of it?

Without the tails and wing, that would be pretty sweet.
