After 5+ years it was finally time to redo the car:

I decided to paint the front bumper black and carry through the front stripe. The fuel door turned out much better than I expected - and it really works too.

I removed the wing, but re-did the sail panels since they look good with the design.

I painted the mirrors to match the black metalic.

Sweet - love the 'flow' and the colors. The wheels look great with paint.

I have added some "before" pictures. Wild 6 has always been a workhorse - competing in events for over 20 years between 3 different drivers. In the last 5 years, it was involved in 4 track incidents - people used to joke that maybe I needed to add a target sign to the paint scheme. It was getting kind of tough to look at with all the track rash so I had it redone over the summer. I hope it doesn't offend the purists.
For those who don't know, Wild 6 is powered by a 3.6L 993 motor, 915/Wevo box and 996TT brakes.

I plan to do the fuel door mod for my weekend racin 914, can you share the details on where you got that one? If it is proven, looks that smooth, I see a winner.
