It looks good minus the side vent ribs. I like the smooth lines though there could be some edge near the taillight. Good job overall.

I think it's too hard to make judgments of the car in it's current state. It needs paint, a hardtop, and some decent fitting wheels. That vent definitely needs to go though.
To the OP...if you have any say in where the design of this kit goes from the prototyping stage...tell them to A) take out the vent...and B)...curve the bumper and the rear overs so that they follow the wheel curvature.
right now, the front bumper looks really cheesy because it goes straight down and doesn't really follow the curve of the wheel. This also might be because of the wheel specs.
At the moment...the kit looks really disproportional and unfinished. Post up some pics when it's finished and painted so we have something better to go off

Hey, who are you to talk?? Do you know how much it costs to build a widebody, let alone all your suggestions of what else he needs?

now im wondering if the OP is ever going to post his two cents in here? I always wondered why people started topics then never posted anything else in the thread

Thanks for the feedback guys. There was alot of decisions with the kit and you can see the progress in the Australian forum under "look what I have done". You will see the cars progression from bone stock to this. I'm sure I'll make progressive changes to it as time goes by. A big brake kit by stop tech and a turbo are the next upgrades. I'm looking forward to some track time with it soon though.
P.S. The wheels are Volk TE37's originally white now painted satin metallic black. Full specs on the Aussie forum.

Hmm...like the rear exhaust/bumper/diffuser but I don't like the round lines/fender flare look with it. I think the angles with it should be more angular like the F430. Personally I think fenders like Tracy Sports would have looked better. Anybody else agree? Still the work is very well done. But I would have molded that fender into the rear so you can't see that line because it is distracting to me.
