I see you had plenty of money just waiting to be spent. I like the colors and how you carried them into the interior.

Amazing work.

I was always of the opinion that if one was going to install the VS Fortune kit, you would also have to address everything else in the car in order to match the exotic look of the body kit. You, my friend, have done that. Kudos.

Love the interior, looks classy. On the exterior I like the color combo that you went with but I’m not a fan of the fortune kit. Sorry, though it does have supercar “qualities” one can still tell that it’s a kit and IMO it cheapens the whole effect. I’m not a purist but this kit is too far out for me. But it’s not my car, so as long as you are happy with it that's all matters.

By the looks of it the work done on the car is phenomenal and I can certainly appreciate that. Congratulations

Very nice, looks like a lot of craftsmanship went into it.

I'm still waiting for somebody to 1) shave the faux rivet heads (i know the meaning behind them, but I still think it takes away from the car) and misc edges 2) ditch the spoiler and 3) keep the stock hatch. IMveryHO, it would make the car look much nicer.

Looks very nice though, terrific job!
