Agreed, amazing work. Well done, hats off.

Loving the yellow and British racing green...Tho the only way you would see that green on a non-english car is by a different name

Could you do it in a light blue? I dont remember what lexus calls it, but it almost looks like a metallic sky blue.
And Gold too... please.
Thankx

Wow those pics look great. I am not a fan of the air scoops in the front, but otherwise the car is much improved.

Those are my 2 favorites too , although I think the Smoky Granite will look better from the front.

FYi the side mirrors can be cameras, this has been explored before on many concept cars, so you have small screens on the inside as your side mirrors

It's expensive and honestly unnecessary though. Especially for an exotic that's supposed to be lightweight.

Huh? Cameras are extremely lightweight these days, compared to the housing and the mirrors that would've otherwise been used. Besides, the real benefit of using cameras is in the aerodynamics! The conventional rear view mirrors have always been such a huge drag in aerodynamics. Switching to cameras would drastically improve drag coefficient, I can guarantee you.
