I wanted to show an up close photo of the new integrated window in the hardtop.
I'm pleased that it came out looking like the hardtop was built that way. This photo shows only the window area which we cut out and inserted our own window mold.

Now I'll get into some of the technical challenges of mashing up two complete widebody kits to make our GT Squared Widebody Kit (I like to call it GT squared since it comes from the Tracy GT and the Amuse GT1 widebody kits).
First off, I wanted to build in matching vents in the rear fenders to match the Amuse front fenders. So I found matching mesh grill that Amuse uses and had vents built into the rear fenders with a similar design and shape to the Amuse.
The below two photos were done during the test fitting and modification of the rear fenders.

One tuning philosophy I strongly believe in is the need for functional parts, especially in aerodynamics.
2. Evaluate the design and make sure it all matches up with the same intentions for functionality.

3. Respect on the side window job, it came out looking realy clean
