Christian, you should consider making the rear oval area around the tails black. I think the contrast looks great. For reference…

Haha, i posted in that thread… The thought crossed my mind, but it’s kinda wanna-be ferrari-ish.

I reallly like the way this looks, but they modified the clam and set the center section in a few inches.

Yeah, I saw that photo on there a while ago. That car is awesome. In regards to the oval looking Ferrari-like, I don’t really see it. I mean, they look really nothing like any Ferrari out there, and there are plenty of Ferrari’s that don’t have black sections back there. I don’t know, I just really like the contrast.
