Never been a fan of UTE's, but this thing looks SICKKKKKKKKK.... assured to be a burnout/drifting machine with such little weight in the back!

Apples: keep the black wheels with the chrome lip and paint the car metallic jet black... Keep the carbon weave on the hood and rear deck lid if you have one made. Put any other little CF accents anywhere you can on the the outside of the car. Get a real nice dark tint on the windows, and finish it off with red calipers to match the red under the hood. Then you will have the most amazing UTE in all the land!

Incredible project my friend, big props to the metal shaper who sculpted those lines too. He is an artist, you found the right man for the job...

Last thought: would you ever consider leaving the car down to the bare metal with just a clearcoat over it? I think all the custom metal work is soooooo beautiful/rare, it deserves to be shown off...

Well I just got an email from Gary to say it's all done
Gary was the guy who machined the front grill for the Efijy Holden concept car out of one piece of alloy.

Sick mill work on that rear shock tower brace! I never though about it but there are no products that go onto the top of them! Unless someone wanted to have a huge piece of metal in their rear deck! My rear deck has been out for months as I have been changing shocks, making adjustments. It's a huge pain in the ash to dial in a 2 way shock that's buried under interior pieces. Guess you won't have that problem!
