Re: New looks...

Not my cup of tea, but if you like it then that's what matters! I would say that you should maybe keep a close eye on it because rocks might start chipping away at some of it, which I think would make it look real tacky. So maybe make sure and keep a bunch of spare paint to cover up any chips you might get.

Re: New looks...

I have to see it in person Andres...to give you my real opinion. I'm not sure it will work even with a "race" theme. I understand what you are going for so I'll give you a little leeway on this one.

IMO it would be way cooler if you had a few Colombian flag vinyls to put on the car...maybe two large ones on either side of the car kind of sideways surrounded by various company vinyls like Robispec, Enkie, Hoosier, etc. Definitely put on a windshield vinyl. Add canards and the small racing mirrors.

Then, when all is said and done I can create my own magnet of the Colombian flag with a big X through it for our autoX events!

Re: New looks...

I think silver or something more subtle would have been cool, but the red seems too much IMHO.

I see your point although, I came back home today after a hard day of criticism and it looks more subtle in person, the question now is how to finish what I started , I mean with the rest of the car.. It will be a while maybe I should vave done this later in the year. oh well At least you guys don't have to look at it every day, I still like , i need to learn Photoshop to come up with the next level. I also put the racing wheels on and took some pictures with and without the magnetic numbers, definetly the yellow has to disapear, , pictures didn't look good without flash and the afternoon sun light, I might to try a earlier time.

thanks
for your input

Re: New looks...

So what does bright read mesh grills have to do with a race car? Does it make it go faster? Does bright red retract sunlight to keep the intercooler colder? Wouldn't a race car have that $5 in paint spend on something that involves racing? I guess it's all in a persons opinion of what is a race car. That's a totally different thread though and I don't feel like starting it.

In complete honesty, I feel you are going for the fast and furious sorta race car look, and that's totally fine if that's your thing, but even if it matched a bunch of other stuff on the car, it doesn't do much for me.
