I'm finally done with the exterior of the car, its now complete in my own mind. I've put a TON of hardwork into this car, as I do 95% of the work myself on it, and looking at it now makes me think its finally paid off.
I'm finally starting to get some respect from the local Honda guys that used to diss Foci's left and right, so its an improvement! lol

I've been contemplating the side door mouldings, but I'm leaning towards leaving them black as it ties in with the yellow/black theme I have going with the bumper mesh, headlights, tails, etc.

With the Saleen wing, you have to get rid of the rear window sprayer. So I rarely ever use the wiper, as it usually just made a mess anyways, and I never liked the looks of the small 11" wiper I had to use because of the wing.
So I took the wiper motor out, I'll see if I can find some pics.
To those who were worried the Euro hood lock mechanism wouldn't work in a Canadian winter - it works awesome, even better than the stock latch. I always had troubles in -45C weather with my stock hood latch freezing shut on me. I've never had one problem with my euro hood lock - definitely recommended.
Thanks for the comments btw guys. :D

I am officially impressed with the combination of the colour, the accents, and the WRC front end. That is the best non WRC-coloured front end I've ever seen.
Well done man! :D

Thanks guys, it means a lot. :D
The rims are SHM rims.
I really need to borrow a high quality digi cam and take some real pics with a nice background to show the car properly.
