Then it's a crime I'm willing to commit. Check out the lines! They're PERFECT on the car right now. Skirts would utterly disrupt them!

Between classy and (pseudo-)sporty*, I'd prefer to skew towards the former of the two.

*Please don't take offence skirt wearers, it's just referring to an agressive appearance as opposed to function.

There's no doubt it already looks good and very classy. I just think some skirts would match up well and give it a nice aggressive look. Either way you go it's still a nice unique look.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

Jeph, looks fantastic! Clean, tight, proportional -- just beautiful. I don't like skirts in general, but especially in your case I agree that they would only damage the look.

Nice job Jeph, the car looks great but you let your guard down and left your license plate numbers exposed in the pics !!!!....

Now I'm going to come down to North Texas and...do whatever it is that people do to people that leave their license plate numbers exposed in internet pics!!!

So you have that to look forward to.

If you post top-down pics, can you do one with the windows rolled up? I don't think I've ever seen a convertible with dark tinted side windows and the top down. Although if the wind-deflector was dark tinted, that might look interesting.

That's pretty funny, I wondered how that small dip would look after DJ painted his.

Also the size of your photos are just right. I can see them right away and don't have to wait 20min for a download. The clarity is outstanding.

986geezer, thanks for the compliments my friend. I'd rather have a rear euro-bumper opposed to painted bumperettes.

I take pride in the consistency of my photo's size. I'm glad you noticed. I'm a web designer, so it HURTS me to post over-sized, or poor quality photos. I often crank up the contrast in Photoshop to enhance some photos.
