    Reading > Me :) Got distracted between the original post and my reply, sorry for the redundant question.

    Beautiful car none the less....

    Question that has NOT been asked, are the flares/airdam salvaged from the original car or did you source them somewhere? Reason I ask is www.coupeguy.com, who sells CSL parts, also sells something I'm interested in and I'm curious what kind of quality to expect from them if by chance you guys used them.

      The flares did not come from an original car.

      They also had to be heavily modified to fit as they should. VSR removed the side ducts that had been moulded into the flares when produced during the fitting process in conjunction with other required modifications to make these fit.

      Outside of that, I can't comment much on the quality, as I wasn't involved with that aspect of the project, sorry!

          Well if he waited 2+ years, dumped an unimaginable amount of money just to "mess" with the correct accurate look of a 30+ year racer then he does need to mess with better appropriate looking wheels. They don't have to be 20 year old used RS's. Compomotive makes basketweave 3 piece light wheels in custom specs. BBS motorsports will also set you up with a brand new set of E50's made to the original CSL specs. Again don't want to sound like I'm criticizing your work just my take on what wheels would look better.
