Its a beautiful car, I'm getting my ridge kit this Xmas. I don't think a AC front would flow.

have you ordered it already? its about a 3 month lead time from production to your door, unless you get it air shipped. if youre planning to mold the quarter panel to the body, i highly recommend molding the edge at the c pillar for a seamless look.

I am a fan! Something does look out of place though, and I cannot pinpoint it exactly, but it would be nice with rain guards and a diffuser.

lol, well that sucks, and selling it is an extreme from installing a cage. I have done it in the past, but still cannot figure out why people spend a ton of money, and then sell their pride and joy.

honestly id paint match the cage, it would bring more color to the interior and make it flow better, also its just awesome to see a car fully "done"

Definitely paint match the cage, unless it's already Cusco blue in which case I'd just install it as-is. You've come this far, finish 'er off! Did you get a feature in a magazine yet? If not you should definitely apply to a few. Maybe a double feature photoshoot with Autoboy?

personally i feel this car will need its own feature separate from anyone else. pictures really do not do this car justice. this has to be one of my top 3 favorite builds in years.

You'll have the complete package after that-damn. Must... Have... Ikea..!
I think you should consider an LS-7 engine swap with the DGR mounts, thus creating the first:

SC700
