Hi All,

Just wanted to dabble my toes into this build thread forum. I'll do a full write-up in the near future but until then here's some photos of my recently completed widebody carbon fiber GT-R. Still working on some final touches like fender liners and dialing in the suspension, but it's 98% there.

I'll keep adding some photos as I go along...

A small snippet of the work that was done to build this car. No rivets or overfenders here...

Here's a quick write-up done by my buddy Lee at VAD. I promise I will do my own when I get a moment.

It used to be my daily, but I bought an AMG for that instead now. Much better daily IMHO, although I will always rep the GTR as a good daily

Nah. That was the rocket bunny car that's in Houston. Nice guy. Not sure he's on here.

That looks amazing! How much weight was shaved off?

I looked into carbon doors but they are not side impact resistant. The car is a show car but I still want to drive it around for fun without fear for my life. Houston drivers are terrible. This is probably the most common question I get, haha.

You can always have the factory doors layered with carbon. Would complete the look.

Indeed, but I doubt there's anyone local that can do that, and I'm frankly tired of being without my car. It would be interesting to drive a GTR like a Wrangler with no doors though

There is carbon wrap. Easy!
