yup that i know, it was made to look like it was sitting on the body.

I love the kit but just think the rear bumper is missing something since theres such a big gap. maybe a larger, more aggressive diffuser would set it off?

Hmm I was hoping once the exhaust went on it would give it that perfect look. I think the car needs to be finished to see how it all flows together. The wheels will be more of an aggressive look than conservative (specs will be conservative, wheels will look aggressive) so hopefully that helps complete the look all around. I don't want a GT look, but I don't want that "super clean" JP look if you know what I mean? I wanted a good mix.

Everything will come together exactly how you have it in your head... don't stray from the master plan ^_^

When big girls lose weight they have that awkward stage before they get that **** tight lol. I think it's gonna be clowning as you get those other big pieces in (air and wheels). I dig it so far... are you gonna use that Futura connection ^_^

Thanks Will, means a lot coming from you sir.

Unfortunately everyone I hit a fairly large stump in the road. I made an oopsie on my taxes this year and owe the IRS a little bit of moula, so instead of progressing this build on the timeline I wanted it looks like it'll be delayed about 1-2 months. Just hope I can beat my deadline of August or so for it to be to at a show worthy point.

Thank you! Well depends on your definition of done. If you mean like 100% complete done then probably next year, but i'm striving for around 60-75% complete by August/Sept of this year just in time for WekFest and StanceNation if it comes back to Texas. I still need to order my wheels, air suspension and BBK. Those are the 3 main things to knock out before September, so hopefully I can make it happen.

For a moment I thought it was a Wald Exhaust. Looks very similar

its prob all from the same company. I've seen Wald using porsche looking tips, Aimgain using MB looking tips. All while making their own types of exhaust.

It's possible. As far as I know mine came from a Porsche not sourced through WALD or any of those guys.

You can buy the Porsche tips on eBay btw for anyone wondering, lol.

I know the front bumper has been a major discussion piece and I stumbled across the photo of the original Celsior that my kit came from. Just to help put more of a picture to it all.
