Why does the rear fender area look so much duller than all the other body panels? The doors, gas cap, rear bumper, all seem to have a different sheen than the rear 1/4 panel area. Also do you have aftermarket hood props? That could by why the hood is raised up near the rear.

I think it came out nice, though I do prefer pop up headlights, the color on the RPF1's is really cool. You should get some duct work done on your IC!

Unfortunately, "DARTH FD" is too many letters...
Maybe just "BLACK" or "EVIL"? "EVIL7"? ""EVIL FD"?
I know "FLT BLK" is already taken - saw it on a rat-rod at a swap meet.
Feel free to use any of the others!

yeah im working on the oil ducts and IC ducts, as for the body being a shade off... it was a small miss calc in the paintbooth, should be fixed soon, and yea the hood props kinda push the hood a bit but its ok.

thanks about the wheel comment, took a long time for me to choose that color, you have no idea, but could not be more happy with it.

Is it? Cool! 7 letters opens up a whole lot more possibilities. there was one I wanted for my cobbled-up first-gen that just wouldn't work with less than 7 letters. Mind you that car's dead at the moment, but it'll be back even more cobbled than before!

Yeah, go with SINISTR. That beats the rest I came up with. Not that there's anything wrong with what you've got on it now...

I saw the car last Saturday in person and it's cool. Different from most FD's but in a good way. It does look evil I have to admit.
