Just don't open the trunk while the antenna is up or you'll be shopping for a new antenna to replace the one you just broke.

It does work with the lines of your body kit pretty well.

*I believe you mean FC3C.

The wing compliments the mirrors well.

I bought the body kit off eBay as well as the Mitsubishi 3000 GT wing.

The T2 hood also makes a big difference.

I also painted the calibers red.

Picture of the rear attached.

LOL I wasn't going to mention that observation not wanting to rain on his parade. Maybe they're glowing red from just getting off the track?

The red exhaust is just overspray from the paint... I will eventually install an exhaust system.

Dude, it's a wing... A spoiler is just a flap, a wing needs air to pas under the aerofoil. And no: It probably isn't (very) functional.

It seems to fit really well. I wouldn't do it myself cause I'm more of a fuction over form guys, but good job on adding a sporty touch to your car.

Only the REV II won't do you much good until you actually replace your engine with a TII engine. I gather the TII hood is just decoration, at least for the time being.

^ Heh'... Very true. I should have figured that the hood was just for looks.

If you're not going to sell the car, mights as well TII swap it. ;-)

Keep forgetting convertables in the US are non-turbo for some reason... Over here they're al turbo.
