I’ll see how it looks later… **I’m just always weary of having red white and blue** … What if you just replace the white with red? Just a thought. Awesome seeing the car this far along, in for numbers and vid as well. :tup: ---

For some reason the darkness of the hood almost makes those pieces look faded The bumper trim was sprayed with plastidip, the grrlls were not… Looking at that pic I suppose I should do them as well… ---

Omit the dash; makes it more like the actual BMW logo. Plus, the GT-R font is enough to distinguish the difference. ---

I tried the wrap on the text and it looked wrong… I have the letters spaced at the same angles as BMW, so i think I am gonna rock it no dash. It’s prnting now. ---

I think it should be “CTN” and then on the rear deck lid it should read “E30GTR”… but everything LOOK great! roll it outside and take some pics in the SUNSHINE! 🙂 ---
