Looking good Nuke, Id say your 95% there,,,, 
Heres what I would do when you get the extra income, I know you just spent alot for this beautiful Vertex kit, but I think these little details will tie it all together, but perhaps before you pick it up you can have you painter do these minor tweaks,,,
The front looks great wouldnt touch it unless you choose to paint the canards black, I could go either way and its up to you (already chose to color match)
The rear,,, Like I said little details would make all the difference...
First the way it is now.. 95% there,,,
Heres what I would do, First complete the round look of the tailight area by painting the tiny corner left above your tailights, next to the trunk black, it will make a difference. It was the first thing my eye was drawn to as just alittle outta wack...
Second paint the portion of the rear MS skirt blue, it will tie in nicely to the lines of the RMagic sides, and wont look like its unfinished. Third and this can come later to complete the trim line of the MS rear, build or find some short rounded piece of carbon to fit uner the rear qurter portion of the RMagic sides so that the MS rear looks like it starts in the sides. It doesnt need to be big just a starter, something even shorter than the OE AP. That can be done at a later time and is what is shown in the third pic....
Like I said its looking great so far but there are a few area I believe if addressed would make it appear as one completely thought out kit...
Second pic(little areas of blue and black mentioned...
Third pic(future mod when you get to it(mini carbon quarter splitter)
I think all these little tweaks will be a minimal cost to you, and can even be incorporated later down the road, but I believe that its the little things that make the difference,,, Good Job though doing it the right way by going authentic and bold, next stop FI.... If your still in VA bring this sexy *** car up to our Sushi meet,,,,, WE d love to have ya up if you can bare the drive... This month its going to be on the 20th(Saturday) hope you consider coming up,,, It will be a **** ton o cars,,, the NY boys are joining us on this one too... Expect no less than 40 cars...
