No unfortunatly no body kit at this time just a straight up S5,That was a pic I found online and used photoshop just to get a scheme in mind.Heres what it looks like now.Thanx Chad...Turns out all my pics are JPEG and are too big to upload on here so I'll have to find a way to compress them.

Not a fan, shouts "Rice!" to me, but your choice of course.

Doing the roof and b-pillar/sail in an alternate colour particularly seems likely to produce awkward results - I suspect the view in the photo is chosen partly to de-emphasize that aspect. There's no natural lines to follow in that area, just smooth curves, so any break will necessarily be artificial.

I do appricate your respone,my only concern was where the black roof is to meet the hood,it almost has to dip around the mirror to get there and might wind up looking silly,I really don't want to look "ricy".Thanx Chad

Nice, can't wait to see it. Shame they aren't running the King of the Hill this year, I'm gonna have to trailer to do some drag events. When everything's all dried up we should hook up some time for a ride.
