Default Saleen SR rear for future project?

I've been doing some planning for a future camaro vert project, once my funds are inorder. Basically the car with have custom Dick Harrell fenders, which will be steel since fiberglass can't handle the stress. I wanted the rear to definately stand out from any other DH and I figured the Saleen SR would look good.
. What do you guys think?

Yea I know it's gonna be a ton of body work, cause the front DH style fenders will likely get some hybird corvette style with the 06 escalade side vents. I'm still planning out everything and trying not to go ricer overboard.

We had a big *** flame war when a former LS1tech admin tossed around the idea of mass producing the fenders. Many argued and many died . It mostly boiled down to GM's trained attack lawyers, the cost of making and selling the fender, and integerity issues that would get in the way.

I'll keep the stock taillights but your right about everything else, but i may do a CETA mod around the CME.
