I think you need the !wire mod, and maybe to polish up the paint in the engine bay. Otherwise it looks pretty good.

If you are referring to the paint job on the lid and fuel rail covers, I think it looks like something that you buy at autozone or pepboys. Not trying to knock you but it's just not my style.

Yeah your probably right but the car is red and the stuff they sell at the auto parts store is more like a pink..

Not trying to make you feel bad or anything but I think you made the same mistake I see a lot of people make with the hockey stripes. You started a bit too high at the front of the car and thus the line has to slant/grade down a bit as it goes back past the side view mirrors and toward the rear.

The FRC and lid looks cheap...no offense. Also ArcticZ28 is right about the hockey stripes
