Looks too fem, blue stripes need to be darker and... metallic? Pearl? Candy? Baby blue just doesn't do it for me. Maybe black pin striping.
The front bumper looks sweet, and pics? Any progress on the rear? I'm in finals season right now... I forget my name sometimes, but I'll be out in a few weeks! And I'll come out to play. 
I'd like to smooth out the front bumper fender transition, so don't waste all of that green filler. If you guys want, you can glue the front bumper in place and start grinding a groove.
You'll need metal to glass epoxy, scuff up mating surfaces with 80-120, glue the crap out of both sides, and quickly quickly racing the clock bolt it down snug. You will get messy and the glue dries fast. Don't worry about if it squeezes otu everywhere, that will all be taken down later when we prep it to be molded in.

What I want to do is finally crystalizing in my mind's eye. I made a template for the diffuser cutout yesterday, and I'm gonna keep pondering.
Not quit this elaborate, but something like:

I'm not sure. So far, we've been making a bolt-on part and I kinda like it. Don't have to decide yet. If I'm compelled to think a seamless transition will look better, that's what we'll do.

She really needs something sticking out of the hood, or a big ass cowl or scoop. Yeah... big ass scoop.
And Ben, you are lame for not wanting to mold the bumper in. Lame. It's a race car, it has no future purpose or practicality. If I went to Del Taco and asked for some hot sauce as weak as Ben, they would say "nope, sorry, no sauce here that weak." Weak sauce.

Any knuckle-dragging mouth-breather can mold a part in. It takes skill to fabricate a new bolt-on part.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

Your guys' attempt at peer pressure is cute.
