Mad props. The fenders really are just sick with it, and the MG trunk came through as well. Impressive overall. Make sure security is on point with the G now. Any other plans?

Thanks for all the good comments everyone

. I like the way the fenders turned out, but I might change the design one more time.

Thanks! Yes, you definitely have to run the MG trunk, or maybe any aftermarket trunk without the damper if they are lightweight. Unless the manufacturer takes into account that the damper will be on one side and makes the mounting holes considerably lower to level the trunk with the damper.

Fenders are awesome too, very aggressive, got a full side profile shot?
I'm running the exact same Fatlace plate frame

Yea, so I guess that car used Takata green as the bbk color. I guess he took a harness into the bodyshop and asked them to match. Well the pictures didn't look like takata green, I wanted more of a pastel color. So i went with the Porsche 997 GT3 RS green. I think the name is Signal Green.

Thanks! I only left the lip because I thought the subtle cf look would work better.

I can’t believe I didn’t notice the trunk - but I definitely noticed the fender!!!!

I look forward to seeing under hood - I presume you ran ducting to the engine bay? Did you cut fender well? Of route from farther front?

Nice meeting you too, definitely looking forward to checking your car out at the meet. Cutting the fender well is something I thought of AFTER the fenders were put back on, to make the fender gill actually functional.

You got the vents, might as well use 'em to keep the bay cool

See you in a few weeks
