That is one sexy car and an inspiration to me when I finally get my 4GS and start modding.

As far as the suggestion to wrap the chrome accents, it's not the look that I'm going for. I like contrast and the chrome bits add that and help to show detail and break up the sea of black. I also don't like "murdered out" cars.[/QUOTE]

I agree, I miss my ISF I had prior to this.

Agreed!

Again thank you all, as always I build cars to suit my tastes. It's always a plus when others appreciate it as well.

Here are some pics of my ISF I had before this.

No,it's fiberglass and it needs to be painted. The front lip is available in carbon and fiberglass. Mine is fiberglass and I had it painted.
