That's totally untrue. You can easily fit 255s in the rear with stock fenders. Some have even gone with 275s with stock fenders I believe as well.
i meant in the front. i know that you can go wider in the rear.

The UIM and LIM along with the TB and elbow are all painted with 600F engine rattle can with ceramic. Really nice, smooth texture when done in multiple coats. It is the same stuff we paint our engines with. The color is "aluminum"

Your missing a bar or two for the roll cage. How about one under/behind the dash
Very nice. I especially like the cross bracing under the sunroof area.
Hope all that tubing is cm.

Are you guys gonna list the specs and all the mods on your website at one point, or do we have to ask you every little question under the sun to get answers ?

On another note, but not really (I'm tired, so it makes sense), where did you get that dash? Also, are you guys going to consider making a weld-in kit of that roll cage (we could only hope), or maybe a scaled back copy?

thats a jaw dropper to say the least. only things I dont care for is the roll cage, kinda overkill if you ask me, and the headlights. still, thats one sick FC.

any idea how much the n/a CF hoods will be priced at? and any plans for re-production of the headlight covers in CF also?

7th Heaven - He said the car will participate in lapping days so in this instance and for the sake of safety a rollcage is not overkill. We don't really care what you care for.

Sharp car, as someone mentioned a list of mods/speces on your site would be appreciated.

Got the car back to the shop yesterday evening, after a 3 hour photo shoot for Super Street mag I took dozens of shots of the car, and other cool stuff at SEMA. Got to meet alot of great people there, and the response to the car was unbelieveable. I will have the pics, and full details of the car up on our website on Monday.

7th Heaven - So correct... an internet forum is where one may voice their own opinions. Jackass? Hardly. Back to your regularily scheduled thread.
