Title: 07 Drag Car Styling
Post by: DRAGON on April 04, 2007, 02:22:45 PM
We are just working out the styling for our Drag car, as the season is fast approaching.
I have various kits in stock. But at the moment I am thinking Veilside D1 Nose with the RE amemiya AD bonnet and the Odula front wings, pop up style headlights, 99 spec side lights.
All blended together to make a one piece front end.
Not sure on the side or rear, from a practical point of view (trailer and jacking etc), no skirts would be best, although I really want the car to have some visual presence. And the only skirts which look striking and wont cause much drag are the C1 skirts and rear spats.
Any ideas would be gratefully recieved.
Also some photo shopping of the above kit would be very helpfull.

I think that you should find out what is the best aerodynanic combo and go for that, every bit helps.

 Well thats why ive gone for the D1 nose, its not my favourite one, but with some mods it should be very aerodynamic, the nose seems to dip quite low and long.
