funny you should mention that soarer.. it was actually a HUGE inspiration for me as far as the ridge kit and ganador mirrors are concerned, but its not why i chose blue or even the is-f blue. 3 years ago i had my heart set on painting my car victory blue from the maserati mc12. racinstylez can vouch for this because i wouldnt shut up about it lol. i even bought my blue vertex steering wheel and a set of 6pt willans harnesses (as pictured below) in blue.. thats how serious i was about that color. i hadnt even ordered the widebody at that time lol.




so i spent a long time looking for the paint code.. a looong time. and when i couldnt find it i started considering green..

specifically, this green -



so i had my heart set on that green.. it just looked so badass. so i searched and searched and searched. and when tvr racing green finally told me it was a special mix and that they didnt even know the code.. i gave up looking at colors for a while lol

then one day i was picking up plates for my dads car at the local lexus dealership and i saw a new is-c in ubm and i just fell in love with it. it looked amazing in the sunlight. it also seemed really close to the victory blue i had wanted for so long, so i just went with it.

so anyway, thats pretty much how i chose the color. the whole 'is-f' theme came after the fact. im only half serious about it as i really only bought the f badge for novelty.

You should show some of the new members a before and after pic. Car looks amazing and it sure has been a while. Funny thing is though, it makes the V12 look bland. I can't wait to see the twins.

really would like to know how much this kit costs in total, including fenders, and which distributor you purchased it from....

I also think you could lose the eyelids and the car would look just as good if not better.

i was 'sponsored' by them, so i paid a bit less. pictures should be up on their website fairly soon. they are also making a custom part for me so we shall see how that turns out

Stunning Mr Hoebag.

A shinning example of how an SC can and Should be done.


Some one photoshop it with that color green he was talking about, Prolly a little wild for most members on here, but i think it would look sick
