Hmm, ive been looking at the cuda II kit and the rear end and side skirts just dont seem to impress me as much. I love the front skirt on the cuda II, but I think the Ixion sides + rear skirt look really nice. Does anyone think that if i combine the front skirt from the cuda II and the sides + rear from the ixion it will flow nicely?

Wait scratch that idea, I just saw a pic of vipers car when it was silver with the complete cuda II on car domain. The side skirts do not have that wierd little indent on them like the ones on import shark. Thats pretty much the whole reason why i didnt like the side skirts lol. So i guess im just wondering where I get the sideskirts without the stupid indent in them...







as apose to import sharks:

if you order from importshark i believe they will have the dent. thats why i substituted my sides for the cuda 1 sides. the ixion sides and rear will cost a few hundred more

Maybe Viper had a little body work done on his to eliminate the indents?

a little schooling from old skool knowledge:

Viper had the MPS kit, which is no longer made.

Somebody came around a few years ago (Evofusion? I don't know) and made the CUDA 2, which is a MPS clone for the most part. One change is the addition of that stupid little indent. The rear is also slightly different from the original MPS.

the rear has a little different style to it, search for omegas car, and look at the cuda II kit on teamsr.org and you can see..

just get the body work done to fill in the indents.. i never understood those, but i believe they were on the MPS kit also..

blah heres the CUDA II


heres the MPS rear


and by the looks of it, the MPS DID have that indent in them.

MPs, IMO looks alot cleaner.. but i would have to get rid of those stupid lines on the sides..

as you can see, looks like viper got rid of the ugly lines and that indent..

i actually think the ixon looks better in the back because it dosent have those extra lights. the less extras the better IMO

also the plate location is alot better
