GT-RR Toyo SEMA Car - Getting Here…

Posted by Ben

Here’s a really half-ass timeline (most parts missing, but overall you’ll get a slight bit more of a feeling for some of the project’s progression)

We received the car on October 7th

The same day, I started detailing some ideas I had about painting, remixing the image of FRP parts into carbon, etc.

next thing you know the above part changes from full carbon to painted with little carbon accents, and the bottom picture shows the FRP front diffuser turned into carbon and ready for painting with accents as well.

that side section of the wing was never carbon.

the roof became carbon, and we planned our detailing and pinstriping with the paint.

Sorry, I didnt get a chance to document much of the installation of the tuning parts.  Quite honestly it was damn hard to get out of the office to document as much as I did.
