=) i rolled the car outside for the first time just now......the car HAS TO HAVE WIDEBODY FENDERS ON IT.......there is no way around it......the car gives the impression of a fwd drag car....lol.....looks like im going to have to change my mind on wheels.....im going to get something with a huge lip in the back (like 3 inches) and have the widebody quarters on it too.....
yes that is a block of wood...i dont have the coilovers in yet!
the corvette badge looks so right on there!!!!
notice the ex owner liked to punch the door too!!!
and while doing all this work...the hail was tearing up the lotus.....SEE THE HAIL????

What about rolling the stock fenders, or different wheel choice? A rolled lip would be far more subtle than a widebody, and wouldn't raise nearly as much suspicion...

Nice to see that thing off the jack stands...Any ideas when you'll hit the streets?
Sorry to see the hail on the Lotus though... Hopefully it didn't get any dings.

That's right, no hail dents....hopefully no paint chips...
Just looked at your sig, 13's on 180whp, talk about light weight, how's that thing drive, like a go-cart I'd guess?

Hey Civette every time I read your name I think of this animal:
(Its a palm civet)
and the atrocious coffee that people buy for $500 a pound that was once contained within this animals digestive tract then excreted only to be roasted, ground up, and then brewed for sickos worldwide.
By the way, I think your build is awesome and you are a true innovator.

That looks nasty as hell though! That thing is going to be amazing. Don't know if you'd do this, but I'd drop to a 16" wheel, maybe a 17", it will make the car flow a lot better. I like the Corvette badge, but not sure about the undercariage plate. The badge will make it look "ricey," the undercariage plate is going to be saying, "the badge on the trunk wasn't lying."
