yeah that was my first though. I see a black roof and I'm not happy. Unless that's the only part that's black, then that'd be kinda cool like the NSX style black top. Hey yoyu're doing this to show off a product with wheels right and want opinions, well I'd say my opnion is single toned. Maybe having a black top and a bright lower portion will draw people to the wheels anyway. Just my $.02

amen to that, those were my thoughts exactly.

personally i hate veilside, all their stuff is ugly, minus that nsx i actually like it. but i think this ones going to look a lot better than that orange. not my color. i want to see it done before i judge it too hard.

I'm pretty sure he means the 50 bajillion parts of that veilside kit not on the car., seeing how that car on the first post is a faded red and this has brand new shiney black and yellow paint.

this is getting interesting! it's good to see someone actually moving forward on a project.

But, I'm confused. Those look like stock body panels.

We painted the stock body first. The Veilside panels are getting painted tommorrow and put on in a few days after that.

Me too. I don't own one but th eFD is my dream car and the more people screw them up, the less of a chance that I get a good one later on in life. I just hope nothing in the movie gives it away

I'm not saying its far but with a TV you can keep the kids shut up. In an SUV if you have a TV per kid they can all whatch what they want and be happy. In a 2 seater sports car with a widebody on it it should have some purpose built besides look at how much money i spent. Going with a 8 point cage and 18 inch wide rims the car is pritty purpose built for a track then you go stuffing 10 TV's in a 2 seater, that's just a waste.

I'm liking it!

I've said it a thousand times and I'll say it again: There are too many people involved in FDs that have Cookie Cutter Syndrome. Even though I love the stock body of the FD I think it would suck if everyone kept them looking stock. I may go crazy with mine in the future, but right now all my money is being spent on performance mods.

So it is going to be 2 toned? I would assume so since thats how the other cars are. I personally would have liked to see it in white and silver. I can imagine God drives a car like that. Very nice car by the way. Money is a beautiful thing.
