Doing it slightly differently though

Body shop should have it done on Monday. Was supposed to be ready sooner, but there were issues with the quality of the wing that needed to be addressed.

all your car need is a turbo and it would be perfect.

I love the top profile picture you posted. The lines from the hood, hardtop, and trunk flow so well together.

I hope that when you have the trunk done you keep those lines.

The trunk lines will be gone unfortunately. I thought really hard about it. That top shot is really the best perspective for the lines of the trunk, and that's not a perspective that is actually seen much. So I opted to go with something that's a little more visible from "standard" angles. I'll admit I'm taking a risk here, but I think the style of the new trunk/wing will go quite well with the theme of the rest of the body. Should be on the car on Friday!

As unique as the Amuse kit is without a wing, it needs one to look right IMO.
