    I don't like that the bright-work around the headlight bezels was painted, and I don't like the lack of the hood trim piece.

    I really do like yellow cars. & the painted bezels.. I debated getting my bezels powder coated but then I thought the hood trim may look out of place then?

    But anyways super nice car for sure.

    He just trimmed it for tire clearance due to the larger wheels and much lower stance.

    GrabberGT did his the same way but in a much more consistent manner.. which makes it tougher to notice when bigger wheels and tires were used.

    I myself, don't really care for this cars "notched fender" look. Otherwise.. it's a damned nice no frills type race car.

    Had to turn it off...noisy soundtrack. Would have been fine without the Lemmy, with just the engine noise.

    'Wouldn't look out of place at all if you just paint the area around the headlight and keep the polished boarder.
