I have removed my comments because they derail this thread and offend the OP. Mike, if you want to, you can remove this whole reply from the thread.

Nope  , this is how I want it to look regardless if it is "rice" to you , as I said before if I wanted to drive a regular Fiero with some little shiney rims  with the stock spoiler I would but I want my car to look totally different from yours that is why it is mine and not yours.
 
If I paint my car pink and you paint yours blue that is your choice and I would never tell you  to get rid of that blue cause I don't like it,if I want to chop it or put on  lambo doors it is my choice and not yours ,I  don't mean to  be sarcastic but letting you know  it is mine to do what I want to do with it .

 Brrrrrr it is cold and time for this to stop  so I can work on my car  go back up north ........there is so much to be done  but just have to move on.
I have done a few things to the car ,the wheels I finally clear coated them  with the last coat then wet sanded and polished them  also the mirrors  engine vents  and the dash fascia was painted Arancio Borealis or lambo orange.
 The 355 light panel was molded  into the body of the car for a more finished look also the 355 front panel I glassed in a 4" brake cooling duct  that was made from pvc pipes from home depot  they are 5" in length and ducted with corrugated hose to the 13" rotors as for the calipers  I had to make new brackets as the others were for R& D  only.

My third  brake lightis from an Escalade  I attatched a new 7 second pulsing  circuit to flash it only to get the atention of drivers behind, that curcuit  I made from parts purchased from radio shack  for $12.98 and makes the outdatedthid brake light look more modern. I will be posting new pics in a few days  with new look wheels

Hey K,

Get those camera batteries yet ? 

Hungry for some new pics !

[Koenig355]

Toney .......you are all over  like a good journalist any how I still haven't bought the batteries yet but I have been working on th car and primed it  in black to get an Idea of the new paint scheme and this is the final stop with colors.This paint scheme is loud ( GT3RS) and I will get a lot of comments  good and bad but this is what it comes down to.

I did widen the 355 lower front to cover the wheels  on the 88 front end transplant to  gives the car  a more sleeker and sinister look,I am planning to add the extra width to the widebody  by making by the sail panel  and the door  go further in some thing similar to Car -lo choptop that I can start now as the weather  has improved.

I did clean up the trunk area by making a solid cover that drops in and hides  that trunk space it is made from woos and covred in gray carpoet  to match that area I do have some extra one's that would consider selling.I will get some batteries soon to take pics to show the progress of the new additions.

raw fiberglass no body filler applied as yet



This is the color scheme I am using, a mixture of blue black with silver sparkles with pearl  and clear.



These are a few pic for now  and new pics  will be available soon.

Nice !

What happened to the vents on the side of the nose ?

[Koenig355]

I decided to do away with that as it was just for looks and non functional , I widened the front of the fender  and  molded it into the 355 lower lip where the air now slides around the wheel  therefore no drag .Still have more fiberglassing to do and priming .

After looking over the car I have decided  to  redo the door skin top and make it come out 3" more  after which  I will add a new handle  to pull the door, the previous  style  will be filled in  as the space was kinda tight especially if your fingers are big like mine.



These taped out areas will be filled out to widen them
