Uh, so since your car has all of the performance modifications listed in your sig, do you have the correct appearance modifications to match and/or represent it's performance? Perhaps post some pix in a new thread in this forum and let the members take a look.

In the meantime.......

Nope...not even close

lol...our car is extremely unbalanced between power and looks...but it's being modded for dragracing and that's about it.

A lot of the stuff on the OP's car would affect aerodynamics or add unwanted extra weight. I would gladly start a thread about our race car. It won't impress in the looks department. It's not intended to be a balance between go and show, because that would slow the car down.

I like what the OP has done to his car...looks strong and almost futureristic, but it needs some more power now....not crazy power...but some added hp would complement and balance the exterior mods

Oh, I think I understand now. I just must have missed the part where James was talking about how he races his car.

James, again- sweet car and nice mods man. Apparently some people live on a one way street.

oh oh...now we're starting to get rude and personal...naughty naughty

let me know what u think
That is what the original poster asked. Now...if the OP had asked "let me know what you think just as long as you think it looks great"...then I guess I would not have posted. So I applaud the OP for being open to a suggestion/recommendation with his open question. He/she does not need to be defended because just one person has a different opinion.

I like everything except the scoops. This is my favorite kit.

@ ForensicSteve; You're right to an extent. When I see a car like this, I'm almost intimidated by the thought of the power the car must have. The look does kind of scream "beast". But you also have to understand that most people aren't as big on power as others. That's why the V6 outsells the GT. Who actually determines what's "in balance" or not? Also, I'm sure you know how expensive "power" is. He's got one of the most expensive bodykits on the market so he may have to recover before big power upgrades begin.

So between the OPs looks driven car and forensicsteves race car they balance each other out. Problem solved, now everyone can go get cookies and milk.

I'd suggest you go and look at the performance section, after all this is the exterior mods section.

I suggest you slow down, read the posts more carefully and you'd follow along better.

Thanks to the other thread started by 05GT OCD...seems that others share a somewhat similar view
