Default Pics of my car, many from SEMA. (Poor 56k-ers)

It's nowhere near completed, but I know many of you would like to see where it stands for now. Constructive criticism is welcome (I know, the offsets on the wheels are way off, theyre being redone, so is the exhaust).

Pics of the interior to come tomorrow, didn't take any at SEMA. Why? I don't know, since I redid it completely

























NON-SEMA Pics

i honestly HATE how theres that gap between the tail lights. and how the headlights have that wierd piece after it (kinda hard to explain)

offset it way off, as you said

exhaust is stupid ATM, get something thatll fill in the giant square

never have been a fan of the rado front

other than that, its ok, just not my style.

Yeah, the offsets WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY off. & I also hate the exhaust, I may remold the cutouts, and completely change the exhaust, the tips look like ants compared to the size of the cutouts, it's horrible.

It looks like the spacing between the hood and the front bumper/grille is off and could be tightened up.

Maybe, cut into the flare by the taillights and the rear part of the front fenders and mesh them so they look/act like exits for brake heat?

Uh no. Garm's kit is a one-off, he designed everything. Mine is the Chris Rado widebody.

+1... Maybe it's just because I'm not a huge fan of the Rado WB kit..

I heard that Kirby! I like it myself Tina. I would post other pics of your car but I'm not home yet. (I won a lot of money...then lost more...now trying to win it back so I can get home. shhhhhh.) And props to you for welcoming constructive criticism from everyone in the community.

sorry, I don't think there could be an uglier kit and color combo. it really makes me wanna hurl when I see that kit and I can't imagine why someone would spend thousands on that. just not my bag!

Tina, here are some of my suggestions
1.) square/rectangle shaped exhaust to fit the holes?
2.)Spacers or wider wheels (I like the idea of wider!)
3.)Color....not a fan of it, but it isn't a bad looking color. I think I was expecting something more dazzling!

But overall I like it and Congrats on getting it finished and getting it to SEMA!!

IMHO, the front has too much "I see London, I see France..." going on. Can't you put grilles on those gaping holes?
