I'm not diggin' the berger rear (never have) but everything else is absolute perfection! Maybe tint the rear tails, that might smooth it out? Seriously, seriously gorgeous and well executed car. Nice!

Well for one, the tape and the tape area on this valance was ****. I had to remove all tape and sand the contact area down smooth. All in all I had the valance off and on 3 times because it would not either fit right or stick. 3rd times a charm though.

I think that would be absolute perfection. I prefer subtle, classy, smooth, and clean, so that's how my tastes run - that's the only reason I don't like the berger tail. Everything else about the car embodies the subtle, classy, smooth, and clean approach. It would fit in better with a more aggressive, in your face kind of theme. Just MHO, regardless, you've done a superior job on that car and it looks awesome!
