haha its funny you say that.. those bumpers where wavy as ****!! i spent probably 40 hours putting putty and blocking them out. because with the car being black it would look like **** if i didnt block them..stick with urethane if you can..lol

yeah id like too get a wheel and tire combo that fills the wheel well gaps more..right now i have 17 inch staggered rims with the rears being about 2 inches wider. 255/40's in rear and 225/45s up front. the car sits 4 inches off the ground now so i cant lower it anymore but id like to fill the gaps more if i can and get some better offset wheels because right now the tires i have are the widest that will fit. Id love to get a set of the BBS rs wheels with a real wide lip on them. its very hard to figure out the proper offsets and tire sizes..

that is true..putty/duraglass wont hold up on urethane but it works great and lasts forever on fiberglass...

I just can't do it. That car is beautiful. Your car and robxx7's really tempt me to go black.
Nice job, man.
Looking forward to your build thread.

^ Black is creeping up on me as well. It is always classy, and I've always thought white and black were the best colors for the FC.
That and the black s5 (Boostlee's maybe? not sure) on MS01, is stock body but super sexy.

at least people are posting thier own cars that they put the time and effort into, I can respect some of those kitted homeland cars but there are some nice stateside cars being put up here, look at that silver car a few posts up- that car looks all business and its still show ready as well.

The intranets is serious business.
That is just the rule of this thread. It is about being a little modest and hoping someone else believes the work you put in your car is worth it. Best looking FC is already an opinion we don't need to add to it with owner bias.
There are many other threads for posting pics of your car:

Not trying to be a jerk all the cars posted look super awesome and have a **** load of work and love put into them. I just think threads are more fun when people use them as intended.
So sorry if I offended anyone.
