BDR RT3 GT body- yes or no?

The cars we have completed with the GT body have gotten rave reviews at events we have taken them to, not classic car shows or cruise nights, but rather enthusiast gatherings with more modern performance cars from Italy, Germany, etc. Obviously not a traditional look by any means.

The cutouts are functional at the track for certain. That is where the concept evolved from.

On the street there is some splatter to content with if you drive the car through any wet conditions. We have not seen any damage from objects kicking up though. There is a screen installed in the openings to reduce any chance of this.

This forum leans to the classic side which I appreciate. The Backdraft in general is a more modern leaning interpretation so if that suites you, don't be afraid to go with it.

But do it soon and save yourself the extra $4,000.

I'm one of those traditionalists, but I also went with a polished aluminum body for something unique. If I'm buying a BDR, then I'm definitely going with some unique body and/or color combo. And this BDR RT3 GT (that's a mouthful) would fill or fit the bill for me. I like it. For me, it's not too far removed from an authentic interpretation of the original, but also unique.

I'm in total agreement... ^

I like 'em too.

When electric engines become all the rage, I'll take one in black, grey carbon stripes, and lime green highlights thanks.
