There's nothing ricey about the feed steps.  They're fantastic.  The wing looks great, I'm just a fan of wingless/lip spoilers.  There are certain things that are authentically ricey, that wing isn't one of them.  It's just about your personal taste.  It'll look dope whatever you do.   :cheers:

If you can get away with it, drop the whole thing 1.5".  It'll look mean as shit then.

I want to drop it but then I can't use the fancy washers(clearance issues). I'm going to look for some better washers.

Ignore mefarri, wingless FD's look like poop.

The combo you have looks gorgeous, its not over the top ricey, its functional looking, and fits with the wider body.

Oh, you meant the entire car. Actually, I can't, the roads around here are terrible.

Thanks for the comp kids. I'm still on the fence about the wing. I like the sides because it cleans up the rockers. It actually flows better with the wide body. I'll leave it on there for now. Seems a little flimsy tho.

I'm not a big fan of wings on FDs either, but I think that one looks pretty good.   The Feed sides look great, finishes the sides off nicely.    Good work.

I'm so-so on the wing.  Is it basically an R1 wing cut into 3 pieces?

I just noticed the blended in rear bumper. Looks really smooth. I suppose there isn't too many reasons to ever have to take off the rear bumper. I'm thinking about doing this. I already molded the front bumper to the fenders. I really need to update my build thread.

Your car is very inspirational.

I think you're mistaken. I did not blend in the rear bumper. I've done this in the past and strongly recommend against it if you're going to drive the car. I built this car to be able to driven anywhere. Rough roads and all. The blended parts do look great, but it will crack. Then you have to paint larger areas. Even when you get small chips and want to touch it up, it becomes a problem. I've used many methods for my customers in the past and haven't found a good solution. Again, if it's a show car that hardly gets driven, yes, but not our cars.
