Wow that looks fantastic (although the shape of the wheel wells looks odd to me from the profile pic) love the colour. What wheels you going with?

Great color & bodywork! But what's w/the 2-tone gloss black front fender inserts also running into front bumper side vents? It doesn't flow or work w/rest of car @ all... Hope those wheels aren't final as the offsets aren't correct for the new wider fenders in the least..

Not trying to be negative instead giving constructive criticism, it's great looking build that needs some help.. Lastly please lower it a few inches

It looks goofy right now with those black sections randomly painted all over it and the off road ride height,but the work looks very good fom the pictures and won't take much from here to be on point.

I'll have to agree with your comments. Maybe if the gloss black was carbon fiber it may look ok but would look best painted the same color as the rest of the car.

Idk if it's because it's in "hunting t-Rex" mode or what but my god man that front looks awkward. Especially in that 2nd to last picture.. Looks like its smiling at you

Front wheel arch also..

And is that spoiler/trunk one..

I do like the color, 3rd brake light, and am a huge sucker for carbon fiber anything so-win-on that sick roof.. but projects like this I could see creating a demand for "modification counselors". You go with your car, throw your ideas out there and they make sure you don't end up looking like a 4x4 with terrible offsets.

I know they said "finished product"..

Hello everyone thanks for all the feedback and opinions. Just letting everyone know in the end this is what our customer wanted and that we had no say in these ideas lol. To each their own I guess

Notice mine before paint/body/fine sanding/general massaging, my bare pamels look perfect in comparo w/out ANY PREP..

VS DTM's creation..


VS the DTM build, fenders look scewy..

Are you talking about just the rear fenders, or both the front and rear? The fronts are one piece straight from Miesha, correct?

i think it is part illusion with the black painted areas. i hope you atleast tried to talk them out of doing the black parts, hahaha. it looks really out of place and no purpose. i can understand the idea they had. i think even flames coming out of there would have looked better. lol. work looks good though.

Other than the black accents on the front half i think it looks pretty nice.
