It sure does on the inside. If you have a passenger, you best be comfortable with who it is. Because your basically touching each other. And I'm not tall (5'11) and my head almost touches the headliner. I basically don't sit straight up in that car. Maybe my headliner is hanging lower than it should?

So I guess not all of Aus is on complete lockdown? How big was the field?
Nah, we're very lucky here in South Aus to avoid any major lockdowns thus far. Unfortunately, we had a combined field of Formula Ford's, clubmans and Formula Vee's due to low numbers - we had 23 cars on track, but only 1 Duratec FF and 2 Kent FF's. The driver of the other Kent that was running is a pretty handy steerer, won the opening round of the state series when they had 5/6 cars out - so he was a very good benchmark to compete with. I also had 2 outright wins, with the result of the other 3 races being P2 outright (the Duratec car has a handy extra 25km/h/15mph by the end of the straight... no chance). Regardless, I was pretty happy considering I had been out of the car for 2 1/2 years, and hadn't actually finished a race in 4.

Unfortunately, I was stuck with way too much rear brake bias, and the car had a fair bit of mid-corner/exit understeer as you'll see from the onboard:

Ahh that's awesome, makes me miss FF.

front bumper is pretty slick, a lot of them are hideous

I'm not a fan of the crazy ones, this one is shaped fairly stock-like.

I do wish I would've went ahead and lifted it, rather than just leveled. It would look really good with 22" wheels and 37" tires rather than 20/35.

Looks good. Are you going to do anything with the taillights? Wifey had me smoke hers on the Expedition but left the back up light clear and turned out well. She also bought some black Ford overlay's for the badges as well. Note the plate is blacked out as she wanted to see how that would look if she got a smoked plate. She is crazy...

Here is the front view. Look closely, she is flicking me the bird in the pic. LOL. She has 5% all around and 35% on the windshield. Too dark for me, but this is her ride.

Do you get pulled over for the front tint? In Maryland id be on the side of the road with flashing lights behind me every single day with it like that.

I was just talking yesterday that I might do headlights/taillights, but I'm not sure that I will. I did it on an old Mustang of mine and would get pulled over sporadically.

I dunno about down here but they're assholes about anything over the license plate around CFL. Shit, we had a driver get stopped and cited because they had a 100% clear cover over their plate. It mounts to the car using the same screws as the license plate, making it attached to the plate and therefore illegal :rolleyes:

We did not do the headlights and the tails still look good with the lights on. It would make a huge difference on that big boy but if you leave the reverse lights undone, looks more subtle. Overall, just takes the bright red out of a mean black rig.
