Your car is amazing! I see that you have the Boy Racer Kit. I'm really considering that particular one. Do you get a lot of compliments on it?

Thanks. Pretty much no inquiries regarding the body kit or the hood. If you're thinking about getting the body kit, don't get the side scoops. They use cheap-*** vinyl inserts for the "grille". If you want better side scoops, there are some available that actually have a grille-appearing plastic insert Loots MUCH better. One of these days, I'm gonna take those scoops off.

The unwashed masses (non-car people) think it's a race car because of the roll cage and racing harnesses. I'll be adding some Corbeau FX1 seats this week to further promote the racecar theme. I'm also looking for static cling car numbers and vintage sponsor decals for use in car shows (again, to further promote the racecar theme).

Thanks for the info. I'm torn between the Boy Racer kit and the Street Scene kit. My car is a daily drive, so I'm concerned about clearance issues.

Mine was a daily too, until January of this year or so. I only had problems on really steep driveways. Speed bumps in the road/parking lots are okay as long as I take it easy.
