And here it is! Looks pretty good. Very low! Had some issues going up my drive way which is on a bit of a hill. Fits well with some minor areas that I will work out later but at first look...very happy! Ill have better pics eventually.

you made us wait that long and you only post 2 pictures?!!



j/k.... looks good man. But definitely needs sides and wheels.... at least spacers. I think it will look better with the grill painted black or dark grey... what do you think?

Got anymore pics?

Wow. I waited a while to see the final product. The quality looks great, but it just looks so weird to me. Not bad, but weird. If I use my hand to cover the left side, it looks amazing though! I hope you post more pictures in the media share section. I can only imagine the time, money, and effort that went into this. Congrats on being done.

Props for all the time and work you put in, great idea too... you ALMOST have it, just needs tweaking.

IMO it needs to be a little shorter, the body lines need to slope down a lot sooner, basically flow with the headlights. You also need to get a thick plastic diamond mesh for the grille

Mesh for grills etc. Type RS1

I actually was aware of the little fixes that should have been however just wanted to stay true to the Essence concept. I didn’t make up this design, I wasn’t looking to change it, only make a concept come to life. You can see how close these actually are.

I actually do have some custom sides I made to help with the flow. I have them on now but again, some fine tuning is required before I go posting pics. As far as spacers , I might try 5-10mm but I run 285 in the back and it will be close.

As far as the grill lol I haven’t even cleaned it from when I first got the metal from the shop lol. I was going to wait a few days then clean it all up. I might change it or the color to maybe a gun metal. I’ll have to see once its cleaned. ( let me know what ideas for the grill you have though but give me pics or links as 180 did!!)

Again these where just quick teasers. Yes… sorry, only two pics. I actually spent time driving the car then immediately went back to work on my Harley. Lol. Pictures were not on my top priority list as the car is dirty and not even done. Lol. Give me a few days. Busy over here!

Nice! and yes, definitely needs a same amount of essence-ish side and rear to play it off, because it seems real heavy up front now, and you need the side and back to even out the 'weight-feel' i think. But looking at the concept, you did an awesome job as it looks real close to the concept man. Great project, keep us updated pls.
