This is one of my favorite things I was able to pull off, I wanted it the "SVT" on the heat exchanger to be centered in the hood opening and it's pretty close.
That is painfully beautiful!!! The entire car is out of this world. This is what I would like to accomplish if I was to build a coupe.
Congratulations!!!!

First, WOW! Love it. Amazing. I can appreciate the amount of custom work, huge dollars, and thought that went into this car.
With that said, was there a reason the plexi-windows were left in? Or maybe a better way to ask is - at any point were real roll-up glass windows considered, especially with the level of talent and custom work already performed on this car? I ask without ever seeing the inside of an actual FFR coupe door itself, but I figure if Superformance can do it with their car, there is at least physical room to pull it off.

Just curious.
Funny you mention that, that was exactly our tought but we were opted to leave them in to make it in time to the show. As of now the windows are out of the car and we've been showing it without them for the last two C&C events. I'm working on a new glass power window design that fits with the cars overall look.
I must chime in on this one...... Its great to see one built as a street custom,,, It looks like and older Farrari.. Nice detail on the interior and i like the rear treatment with the lights and the Daytona Concept look.
I always thought the styling downfall was the rear of the daytona... When the Daytona Concept came out, it was an updated look of the original, you gave yours an updated look-----I like it....
Enjoy your ride,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

That's the plan! Gonna try to make it a bolt on and easy to adapt to the existing doors. I have some ideas and a few concepts but as always it's a R&D project.
I've seen a number of Coupes over the years. This has got to be the best one I've seen built as a street car. Excelent work and attention to detail:

Wow! Beautiful job. The undercar exhaust really cleans up the lines and by far my favorite Coupe interior I've seen. What side mirrors are those? I've noticed them on a few Coupes but haven't been able to find a name or source.

Great. Another interesting website full of expensive goodies. Thanks
Soo sorry for the late response Sean. Actually, they're ebay GSXR mirrors. I think they cost us like $20. One thing we did for extra support was glue a 1/8 steel plate with nuts welded on the inside of the doors. We curved it to follow the shape of the door and bolted the mirrors to it.
