Euro.Techniks at WheelConcepts car show and my trunk lid---Pics

I went to my first major car show yesterday as part of euro.techniks and just wanted to show some pics of the show, and my trunk lid.


















The trunk lid still needs some work, but you get the idea of the set up. 24hours from a raw fiberglass mold to this:







I was going to paint it silver to match the car, but decided on black to help hide the imperfections. But I kind of like it like this.




More pics can be found Here

Dude, you've never seen replicas before? I've seen Hondas made into Porsche, MB, BMW, etc. and it usually ends up pretty sh*tty.

Thanks guys! I am pretty happy with the way the trunk came out.

I think that w203 wannabe was actually a civic, I didn't take a close look at it since it hurts my eyes.

There was a turbocharged Rieger w203 with air suspension. I wonder how many error messages the car is throwing at him.

ahhaha... That is definitely one of the error messages he has.

I wish I took more pictures of the engine bay. He removed the coolant reservoir and placed the turbo there.
