- Weird looking rear part

You picked a matching colour for the shape. Those airintakes kind of remind me of the early bandit, trx-3 and even mr4-bc

That Mid looks like it needs some Cameltoe-In.

Pictures always ads at least 2 degrees of toe out on the front.
So when attending to a race that is getting filmed, You need to take that into consideration, when You´re dialing Your car in :mrgreen:

One color paint job and a bunch of stickers - SWB MID´s in their boxart livery, are easy to do and looks good. Easier to sell, too

It was a joke, play on words. ;) You're right, of course. The opportunity to get that play on words out there was too good to resist. :twisted:
