Most-Wanted's IX Build Part "DEUX"
Well, did some decals today. I dont really like the outcome. Not too mention I told the guy to make the lettering straight. Went to put them on and see a curvature. Hard to believe I cant even get a sticker made right. Tried bolting up some parts today and they dont fit right. I spend more time rebuilding and fixing other peoples mistake and it drives me crazy... Anyways, what is everyone thoughts... Curved is fine or make him redo them straight?
The lines on the front caliper slightly curve, he was just following the line. Straight would
look retarded and out of place imo. I like the creative and unique idea of yours. Def kuddos for being original. I would prob do a M-W on the rears though. Since its Most-Wanted up front.
+1 for the a way it is now.

Thanks and I agree on the M-W. I guess the curvature is fine, just wish it was more in line with the curvature on the caliper. I thought the Brembo decals were straight. I'll have to check that out...
I am taking the trunk down to Mad Mods to weld up the holes from the wing and it will be resprayed. At least I'm confident that will turn out well

Curve looks fine but like you said it would be better if it followed the exact curve of the caliper lines and +3 on M-W. Glad ya decided to do lettering on the calipers, they look much better. Good idea on Doing the Most-Wanted theme instead of the standard Brembo.
Not sure if you'll be able to find one in good condition local but when I was thinking about going wingless my plan was to buy a used black Lancer trunk and keep my stocker & wing in case I ever wanted to swap back. Of course if you know you'll never want to swap back then it's not a big deal. However if you do plan to track the car then the wing will be helpful on the track. idon't have any personal experience with it but I know someone that said he could tell a major diffrence without the wing.
Yeah the tires are not on correctly. They were the two that were closest and I am tired of looking at the car apart so I grabbed the top two and placed them on As for the wing, I have looked and placed a WTB or WTT but nothing. I know from first hand experience the wings do work very well at 160 But I have no plans on doing any major racing at this time. Back straight at PBIR is only around 140 so for now I want the clean look. I can always find a winged trunk later or even buy a serious wing if thats the direction I head with the car. Thanks for all the insight guys... Little by little we are moving forward.
