I like it a lot better. You know what may break up the large rear deck lid, some recessed cooling vents. From experience with and my friends Ultima,
you will need some cooling because the engine bay got very hot especially when stood still.
Is this what you mean Paul? I have been planning to add these. Imagine them out of a deep black ali honeycomb or a punched anodized black ali panel. I
saw this type of vent on a Ferrari in a parking lot the other day and thought it looked great.
Realize also that the back of the car is like one giant vent too.

Steve, full marks - one smart looking car you have there,Inspiration for all of us... me personally think with some moulding behind the seat backs
(ala porsche style) and the vents you have modelled there it will really finish it off..

Steve thats looking good, been looking at doing a project like this myself (looking into importing a front clip from a skyline GTR flipping the diffs
and going with a mid engined setup.)
what I was thinking for then moulded headrest design would depend greatly on the type of seats I chose. I'd match the seat headrest outline and
bring it within 1 inch of the seat when it is adjusted all the way back.
looks great, when you're done you'll have to pull moulds and make a dozen or so, theres not enough lighweight mid engined sports cars out
there.

Prefer the flat one myself, but it's very good.
If you go with the humps, you might consider dropping the center crease in the lid, which becomes just a little busy IMO.
Wouldn't listen to me too much, I haven't changed clothing styles since 1978

I'm lately hoping that there will be demand for more than just a dozen...
I think the US market is virtually untapped and it has huge potential.
