I want to see the finished product before i comment on the shaved windows. But as of right now im not feeling it. it throws off the flow of the car.

I feel like the shaved windows make it look a little bit like a Del-Sol...

+1 for all the time and work put into it, just a couple things I would have done different.. To each their own.

Love the shaved handles, gas door, antenna, and back up lights (would like to do that eventually on mine). The blade is really nice too. Never been a fan of "alternative door opening methods"

unfortunately, the first thing that popped in my head when I saw that last shot above was "87 Camaro" it looks like an IROC ! (bummer!)

I think for me its a combo of the 1/4's, the backlight, and the side skirts.

I dig what you're doing, keep it up! (but, I'm with the others, get rid of the "donk" rims !)

Even if it's a "show" car, don't try to force it to give up its inherent "track inspired" flavor. IMO the most successful customs are ones that the builder has worked to enhance a car's natural vibe. If you take a car too far down the wrong path (not listening to what the car is telling you) the design fails. Rims and paint could "ruin" all your hard work!

I had those rims on the car when it was my DD. I never planned on putting them back on when the car is finished

Looks good! Like the spoiler and shaved door handles.. Why didn't you just get a g5 trunk instead of filling the reverse light holes? Just wondering
