    Yeah I definitely feel that too. I'm putting more thought into the functionality of the design rather than just "Let's make the widest widebody I can" which was my design philosophy on the Mx5.

    Absolutely, so many people are willing to do the wrong things and somehow thinks it makes sense to upload it and act like some sort of teacher. Theres a few guys I watch that still take it seriously but many dont. Heck I’ve been seeing videos where the comments get spun up because they are doing it wrong and the next video they are mocking the comments. If you are gonna do the wrong thing just dont upload lol.

    I don't know if you're already planning on doing it but I think that since the front fenders won't be covering the whole bumper you should maybe add a canard or something along those lines to make the car look lower and complete the front end.

The end result looked absolutely fantastic. Just goes to show how good these kits can look when you know what you're doing. Hats off to you.
