Sorry for the delay. my PC crashed last night I dont know why, but i'm using the one in the office now. so hopefully the IT guy will be able to repair it soon. otherwise no more photos untill then.

The Body are all made out of Galvanise metal plate. the bodykits & the door panels are all FRP/ fibreglass.

The Bodykits are Custom made.

I dont like that the body kit sticks out more then the rims. IMO it would look better with the rims pushed out as far as possible. Also I think you need to do something with the roof. The kit in total looks too big and blocky for the small round roof.

Other then that its great work, really smooth with nice clean lines.

It needs gull wing doors!!!

the front is cool, the rear im not sure, and the side i dont like at all. not liking the huge hole. just makes it look like a huge car.. instead i woulda recommended more curves, so that you can still see that the fenders are really flared. right now looks more like you put a tank body on top of a little car. also not a fan of those rims style or size. since you'[re all show and since its wide body maybe 20s at most, and the fitment can be much more aggressive

A for effort tho, its always exciting to see your work

Any updates and maybe some new pictures? It's been almost a week, hopefully your IT guy fixed the problem by now.. Also, I wanted to ask how did you come up with the idea of making the kit?

Well seems like he managed to fixed it but I just been busy like hell and havent been able to get it from him. But lots of photos and guess what color I decided to go on with...

The Idea of the kit came to me during a car show. You know how the Japanese make one 8 look like the Maserati ( the Duck garden kit) and they did a Z33 to look like the Vanquish (The DAMD kit). I kinda like wanted to do this car to look like another Italian made car but something that people havent done yet. Something more original and fresh. so voila. Some might like it, some might not. to each his own but I bet the end result will look much better than the teaser pics.

Glad to hear that you got it fixed! I'm always excited for more pictures! I'm always up for seeing something custom and unique as this.. I can't say what color you're going with, but I bet it has to be a custom and not a Mazda production paint. Is it going to be a 2 tone or no? Also, which Italian made car did you get your idea from?

wow... looks real nice... can't wait to see it with the carbon fiber on (rear diffuser?) i'm not really digging the front as it's a bit overplayed imo. and i'm undecided about the wheels. 22s are fine... but much too large and make the car look like a hotwheels or jada car, 20s would be perfect except you already designed your kit to fit 22s.

I like the work you are doing. I am like the others on the 22's. A bit overkill.

not for your case INSPIRE, but doesn't the 20b only have an AT tranny...or is there a tranny that swaps in?

My deepest apologies to everyone. I have been busy like Hell. I havent been able to post anything. but just to let you know the car is now White. I also painted the rims black with the lips white. I also changed the lips with a wider one so it's now sitting just a few mm from the fender well. Exhaust is being fabricated now.
Wing is still undecided.

Ivory 8: thanks bro. a very good job.
