Not gonna geek it out. Clipped a guard rail, dinged rt front fender, header panel between pop up headlights, headlight cover, and bumper cover. No frame damage. Got eBay replacement parts, ready to paint and bolt on. No frame damage.
I may make duplicate parts of fiberglass or high impact plastic, and with those do a pop-up delete and nose job, which would give it a face more like a Carrera GT, latest Corvette, Ferrari Maranello, etc.. This one-piece fascia would use the same attach points, but better internal cooling ducting and include a Calibra-like splitter. It would include proper exit vent for the intercooler, which stock just feeds into the engine bay to find its way out
somehow. Porsche did a good job with cooling inlets, but sorta forgot about efficient cooling
outlets.
Undertray would be pretty easy on this car, as well as rear diffuser by simply unbolting the rear valence and using its attach points.
Wheel fairings oriented to the relative wind would streamline the wide tires, and if done right feet the brake cooling inlets.
The car could be restored to stock easily.
