Not particularly - no I don't notice anything out of the ordinary, and aside from the warning sticker being torn off, it looks almost identical to mine. Is this a quiz?!

Customer had it sent it to me for a custom paint project with some matching FRC's.

I just thought it was really odd & decided to post it up for everyone to see.

Wow, nice work, as usual!!! Everything came out really well esp considering the covers are a different plastic from the air lid!! I bet it really pops in person! Are they going on a show car? Better yet, how about some pics IN the vehicle?
