That is going to be quite the FC. Having the 3rd gen look vented hood is going to look good w/ the flared fenders and GTC front end!
For your roof scoop, I have the larger CF scoop/vent from www.carbontrix.com. It will be easier to mount as it was designed to mount to flat panel. Let me know if you want that at a discounted price
-edit- oh, and it is light and looks strong as it appears to be bagged- don't know the resin type...

Rims are temporary so I can move the car, BBS Magnesium 3 piece, or CCWs next. 315-35-17 front, 335-35-17 rear. I am also fitting, and painting the Tripoint nose, The Tripoint nose will be for drag, and the GTC for road racing. The nose, and flat bottom are one piece, and can easily be interchanged with the Tripoint piece for lower drag. I know alot of people do not care for the GTC nose, but it is for function, not a popularity contest.

The GTC nose I got was Chucks prototype, not typical of his work. Actually the "fitment problem" is mainly that the overfenders flare out too much. In my case, they matched the flare of the tripoint fenders. we did have to add some glass to match the wheel arches from the two manufacturers, and the nose will require alot of work to be paint ready.
This is really a dedicated race car, so some of the design cues that would not be tolerated on a street car, but are tolerable on a race car exist. The one thing I do not care for is the transition from side mouldings, to none(fender to nose). We'll see, I think it will look alot better when it is painted.

Blue, I may do that, I have another guy who has TII vents in FG ~75.00, I thought it would be cool to try and preserve at least one design element from the FC

IMO i dont like the rear end how it just flares out to the side i think if the whole thing was a bit wider it would go smoothly with the car. Also the fender flares seem to be pretty thin looking.....Anyways I give you props if you did the work yourself cuz its always nice to see someone doing there own creative things.
