Dean it's probably too late to incorporate this, but one thing madcurl had Archie do that really stands out on the widebody kit was add some hips.
It almost looks like a little shelf on top of the rear fender caps, but it looks like it just involved moving the rear pillars inward ?
Really sets the body kit off and gives it an even more muscular supercar appearance IMO.[This message has been edited by exoticse (edited 05-17-2009).]

I got the pic's back up  they had something going on?
well anyway here are the pic's of the progress from this last week.
I did not work on the car this weekend I did work on the 355 sunday on the drivers side rocker.
Tony, I had noticed the hips on Curly's and CarLo's cars I like them but to do them to my car I would have to redo the intire rear of my car and I have done that way too many times already 
I like it the way it is, also with the spoiler I made on the rear it gives it that look from the rear as well.

I can't wait to get this car on the road and see how it drives.

Thanks for posting the pics. My "bar" should be here on Tuesday (along with the MadArch kit) and I too look forward to installing it. [This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 05-18-2009).]

That's the same set-up I have. I used it on my truck last week-end on the floor-boards.

A friend of mine has a plazma cutter and has never used it I am trying to work a trade with him for it.
I finaly found a vendor for Carbon fiber now once I get to that point of my build I will have no problems.

this weekend I will be working on the 355 to finish it up but while I wait for paint to dry a may have a chance to work on my car.
I would like to finish the front nose so I can move on to the chin spoiler and the fenders.
if I can get a few things done I will post pic's next week.

ps. if you want to see the progress on the 355 I have it posted in general here

I was able to do some work on the car this last weekend now that the 355 parts are at paint. I worked on the frontend. working on the vents as well as the chin spoiler
just a lot of sanding and shaping. I had to prime them so I could see what still needed work to many colors to see.
I also made the inner fender well for the right side fender and got it bonded.
plastic signs make great shapes for fiberglass. just a little wax and you can reuse them for all kinds of shapes.
