A curb-side door would make a great deal of sense, although with such a narrow car, you already have a safety advantage in that regard.
I am positive that I put the Elio on the Template. Will someone please post the picture? I have needed to reinstall win8 several times, losing my Ecomodder images, but not much else.
I am pretty sure that a boat tail would only be a few feet long.

Yes, for lower drag they should extend back more - but they would come too close the side of the car at full steering lock. They are much better than the open wheels they had earlier.

They are saying they will have wheel cover options. Just give me 400 HP Nissan tripple and I will be happy!

I'm sure you can fit that triple. But not the monster turbocharger that makes it 400 HP...

Love it! Dump the front wheel covers all together. Hey can you do a pre WW 2 flying tiger rendition?
Found the engine and Turbo. Looks easy enough to change the intake to fit under the hood.

It will be available with either a 5 speed manual or automatic transmission.
