Have you guys thought about moving the door handle cutouts to the top of the door? This would make for a cleaner overall appearance no?

I wanted to keep as much of the stock look as possible.

We will be bonding the roof together next week. We have one shot st this and we don't want to make any mistakes. As the old saying goes "measure twice and cut once"

Interesting, but had you posted the photos without an explanation, I would have never noticed any difference. The "hatch" or rear window section looks the same to me. Or at least, very similiar to the original design. Now, had you taken a coupe and converted it into a Fixed Roof Coupe design, that would have been different. Can't wait to see the final product.

I think once you see "end result" photos, you'll see it easily. The car is much, much flatter over the roof line giving it a sleek, exotic appearance (but without the hard lines of the newer Lambo's and Ferraris).

Must be nice to have a truck load of "business expense" tax-deductible money!



ETA: I know the carbon fiber look is all the rage, but I really think that car will need polished aluminum wheels to offset the rich, dark blues and window tinting. Something to "pop" and provide contrast - IMHO.
