Almost impossible to differentiate in pictures, but yes, the BMW Laguna Seca Blue and the Porsche Mexico Blue have a lot of similarities. If I remember correctly, the BMW Laguna Seca Blue is slightly lighter, but both have the same pastel pop color.

Very nice indeed, but as I watch the condition of the car I'm thinking, "why, oh why to such a nice new car." Looking forward to completion pics!

Wow, awesome build! Looks like the rocket bunny kit is the most popular kit offered thus far. Can't wait to see it finished!

No better showcase platform than SEMA to display what can be done to a car with an imagination!

Agreed, the Rocket Bunny kit is definitely one of, if not the most sought after piece by FT86 owners. IIRC, this kit will be distributed by Greddy USA.

Wish I could confidently answer that, but I would imagine this is something someone could purchase after its debut at SEMA.
