I liked it so much better before.

I like it for what it is, ALL OUT SHOW CAR.

but i dont like it, like it. i can appreciate hardwork and creativity. but dont like the style.

the tail lights meeting the widebody looks odd. The gas cap would be awesome blended and relocated. the front vents near the intercooler are to much.

I agree with the person that siad a square exhuast. That would look AWESOME.

Not trying to put the car down. Just not my style. but good vision and goo execution on it.

Are you running airbags for the drop?

To each their own. I also said "constructive criticism". So thanks for your rude 2 cents. It's always the stock, if not close to stock car owners who talk the trash.

Haha, gee, I wonder why you liked it better before. Cuz we were somewhat car twins. The gas cap is only the 2nd Chris Rado widebody with a working gas cap. All the other ones either a) dont have a gas cap at all, or b) shaved it off & used an aluminum motorcycle gas cap above the body line of where the gas cap used to be & used a funnel to fill up.....it was bad. & yes, I'm on Air Runner, I'm the only tC in the continental US with it.

But overall I like it and Congrats on getting it finished and getting it to SEMA!!
Yeah exhaust will definitely be changed. & no spacers, they're gonna get redone, they're $6000 (I didn't pay that) wheels & they should've been measured correctly & they weren't so I'm gonna have them make new ones, it's only right.


As for the color, it looks better in person. But I'm not 100% satisfied with it either, but what's done is done.

T,
I'M JUST CURIOUS WHY YOU WOULD REP STICKERS FOR A BODY SHOP THAT WACKED YOU FOR MORE $$$, TOOK TOOO LONG, AND HAD TO REPAINT THE CAR A MULTIUDE OF TIMES ,JUST TO GET THEIR JOB DONE RIGHT. AND IN DOING SO SET YOUR WHOLE PROJECT BEHIND!!
NO ONE SHOULD BE ON YOUR CAR IF THEY DIDNT GIVE YOU LOVE FROM THE ON SET.
BOTTOM LINE IS YOU PAID THEM! THEIR OUT OF THE PIX FROM THERE.
IF ITS NOT A SPONSORED PRODUCT IT SHOULDNT BE ON THE CAR AT SEMA. UNLESS YOU LIKE A LOT OF STICKERS ON YOUR CAR.......

T, THE CAR LOOKS GREAT!!! DONT LET ANY OF THE CHUCKLE HEADS ON THIS DRAMA BASED FORUM ____ ON YOU. THEY ARE ALL WINERS THEY BANG ON ANY OF US THAT DO WHAT THEY DONT HAVE THE DRIVE TO.
YOU SET A GOAL AND YOU DID IT GOOD JOB!!

OOPS SORRY FOR THE CAPS BROKE THE KEYBOARD

I was at SEMA and I saw Tina's tC. I loved the color & the widebody and the fact it was on Air Runner. I do agree with others about the offset, the exhaust, and the front bumper with no grills or inserts to cover up the gaps.. other than that, the car looked sick and i was trying to find you tina at sema to tell you in person. Cant wait to see this car at the next car show.

Very nice. Fix the offset and it will look great. What made you go pink? I thought you were doing a lot of custom carbon fiber work? Do you have any pics of that?

The interior carbon work is in the works. My seats are full carbon fiber. & I have a carbon hood, & I need to find a company that'll make a 1x1 carbon hatch. Also, when I have the money I'm doing a custom carbon diffuser in between the exhaust cutouts.

The car's not even close to being done.

not really feelin the kit.

the pic with the front bumper looks like its wider on one side than the other. Is that just the angle of the pic or is the bumper non-symmetrical?

I hope it's even, haha. It could be a number of things, I'm pretty sure the concrete was uneven, or my air ride settings were off. I mean the fenders are full replacements, so if it is non-symmetical, all the blames on extreme dimensions, haha.

Oh Tina, I forgot to ask, which company were you primarily representing at SEMA?
