I was at first as well but at the time my buddy had a brand new Electron Blue Z06 and I loved his side vents and these were my version. Then again, I like to have something a little different. Not everyones taste but thats whats good.

Awesome looking car man, i agree with some others though the side scoops don't flow. Everything else though is well done.

Great looking car. I think the sn's are starting to really age well. I know I love them the older they get the better.

Speedlines FTW...are you getting them coated black as well?

I was shooting for a dark gunmetal like the F430 Scuderia and then install my 14" Brembos with Yellow calipers. No luck with the gunmetal so yes, they will be a 20% gloss coat. Will be different. Was thinking a dark bronze as well but didn't want to put gold or black graphics on the car. Red is semi limited to wild wheel colors. Plus some of my buddies with Ferrari's have the red and satin black and I love it.

Wheels when I bought them. The chrome on all of them were bad, chipping (common on these wheels) and curb rash BUT they were 10" rears so I had to have them.

Stripped the chrome which was a pretty penny since sand blasting the chrome off would most likely ruin the wheel. Wanted to make sure the "SALEEN" and "Speedline" were retained.

Idea of the brakes... These are Alcon's though.

Thanks man... Here is one more. I will take more when the new wheels are on. Hopefully CCW Classics are on the horizon as well. This shows the T1 pretty well.

Very, very nice SN. I like the accents with the lghts, scoops, and hood vents. Looks good, it may change a little with the silver wheels.

I like that you went silver on the wheels, dark/black is played out IMO.

Where'd u get all those cf accents from?

PF Racing... (Paper Flames Racing) They are no longer in business. Very expensive parts at the time (late 90's) Side mirrors would run $5-600, tails around $400, etc... A lot of the old school Saleen guys had these parts.

Wheels were striped to bare aluminum in those pics. They will be gunmetal or matte black. Yes dark is getting a little played out but I don't want silver and hate chrome. Not many options for a red car.

I think Gunmetal will go nicely. Doing a flat black wont look right on that beautiful car imo
