Most was custom.....Imex Tuning kit was the base. We worked with them on a few different parts. Too many body mods to list, but we will try once the build is done.

This will have to do until I get my 911.

Now we have two sc430's with heavy body modifications. I have a feeling I'm going to love both of them. What color you going with?

Thanks all.....we're using the car to experiment with different materials and techniques for widebodies. We're going to do a widebody 147 Aristo next.

Car will be some type of red....maybe MRM. BASF jumped on the project, so they'll have some input on the color. The interior is similiar to the PB color, but with contrasting stitching and some unique pattern on the seat, with a lot of CF accents.

Front bumper does not have the foglight buckets mounted yet....we're painting them a different color. The CF splitter is also not mounted on the front yet either.

Thanks....the panels are Pimento Red....close to the PB interior. Car goes into paint next week, hopefully. I bought the car in Dec and haven't even driven it, so I'm anxious to get it done.

The pattern came from an issue of VIP Style Cars back in the day....thought it looked cool and different than most of the diamond stitching I've seen.
