"Sometimes I stir things up a bit to inspire discussion, even if it is argument. I think this board has gotten a bit mundane at times, and every so often I like to poke a little fun.
I just believe that people should think and analyze what they want their cars to really do rather than just mod for the sake of modding. I'd like to break apart the 'herd' mentality on this board and challenge people to be a bit different or creative in their mods! It's really nothing personal against anyone, as I pretty much like and respect most of the people in this community."
Exactly! Actually I already knew your real intentions when you tried to stir up the discussions, but I still wanted you to share it with everyone so no one would be under the wrong impression!

I appreciate all the kind words, thank you.

If you look closely at the nose it is a combo of (1) Carrera GT on the front three intakes, (2) the GT-2 on the top vents, and (3) the cup car vents in front of the wheels---I just love it. I know the TA nose is popular, but it just has too much tension and aggressiveness in the design. It is probably why some people don't like the look of the Enzo--too jagged and aggressive IMHO. Realize this is all about fluff and not about substance or performance, but if looks didn't matter, we would be married to trolls and driving Scions.

James, yes...a pic of your car please! And thanks for the confidence boost, I'd just ordered the Gemballa nose this morning and was hoping it'd blend in with the GT2 wing and rest of TA smoothly.

Evan, I've just placed the order for the Gemballa front bumper kit, the shop has it in stock and expect to finish the paint and installation by end of the week. Hopefully I'll have pic to share with everyone by early next week. I'm keeping the TA side rockers, rear bumper and GT2 wing, let's see if they all blend together smoothly

Evan, if that is your yellow beast, my bumper is very close. I don't have the bifurcated upper vents. Mine is one continuous vent like the GT-2. I will post tonight. That yellow car is beautiful.
