I genuinly do think youve made a good choice moving away from the TRD spoiler

Its good to be different/unique,

Besides that i think the autopista having actually seen it for real suits the lines of the widebody great,

But as you know without the pods looks massively unfinished, i reckon you've got it pretty spot on shape wise and imo it will flow perfect when painted.

You know as much as I do think rev1 lights look good on it, I just can't bring myself to fit them, I really prefer Jdm rev3 lights.

I do know this is probably the wrong decision.

More controversy. I had a look at the autopista rear, I like what you have done with the pods/winglets??? They blend in well with the rear wing but I'm not sure if it works with the TRD kit. Will have to see it from a distance once it's out of the spray booth.

I like rev3+ rear lights mate. Might be the only thing we've ever agreed on.

So I put in a late shift after work and got the drivers side pod 90% done, almost a perfect copy of the left side. From these angles you get a better idea of the lines. Still a fair bit to do here but it looks great.

If my opinion's worth anything i'd be saying to copy the angle (in opposition - if you know what i'm trying to say) of the bottom of that buttress for your winglets curve.

ATM it doesn't seem to lead the rear wings curve or be the yin to the buttress's yang to my eyes.

Yes it still needs the lower curve building up a little, the right one has a wobble in it too currently, all works in progress.

Thanks to Alan and his amazing plastic welding technique the Evora/mr2 dash plastics now look like this....

Image

This solves any future cracking issues and gives the plastics a totally OEM finish.

Image

Very happy with this and should mean the Evora dash will look perfectly at home.
