On a whim I sent a sponsorship packet to a Cosworth company in the Pacific NW a few months ago for a competition they were having. I didn't win, but I did one better (IMO) and got 1st runner up. This means I get a full Cosworth RS500 body kit but don't have to do anything other than the shows and track events I currently attend :-).
I'm really excited as you can imagine.
I think Chad is the only one that has a clue of what the RS500 kit is. basically, I'll go from this:

To this:

(minus the BBS wheels and mine will be much lower)
8)
Kit comes in unfinished fiberglass, which I take as a perfect opportunity to paint the car. I want your ideas here! (Scotty, care to throw out some ideas if you have time?)
Here are some more good pics of a black RS500:

I will repaint the car Black. However, it's a race car, and I want it to look like one! Stripes, two tone, logos, etc. The main secondary color needs to be white if we can make it look good. Also, note the difference in the rear side window on my car and a real Cosworth (mine's two-piece).
So, if anyone gets bored, inspired, or just wants to help me out and throw up some designs it'd be great!
