Looks awesome Josh but is it just me or is there a small dent below the driver side door on the "under carriage" i guess its called. Right in the middle of the driver side door below it.

Sadly yes, from previous owner. Only real flaw in the car.

BTW - the wheels may be a different color next year. I've always loved the RPF-1, both in style and lightness. What a great feeling it is with that unsprung weight.

I got a dent in the same spot. It annoys the crap out of me. I'm going to fix it when I get the rear bumper repainted.

Rotary kytten, not my place to judge but some would say painted wheels, evo wing, tow hook, and decals on a stock car are a bit ricer.

Thanks. I also keep them polished. Sadly though, they do suffer from the heat and time, and have those thin, small cracks in the lens.
