My point is....that photo that keeps getting posted seems to be a lone ranger, and particularly unlike ANYTHING BLMA presented prior to the production models coming off the container. I *do agree* that it's how the car SHOULD be done--if that's an accurate depiction--but that doesn't change the fact that it was a big shift from what they were showing all along. I think first and foremost the car should be done as it rolled out of the paint shop, then the other versions can come later if the manufacturer chooses to do so.
So really, despite what everyone thinks I actually think BLMA did things right with their production run based on that photo. But their preproduction stuff just, ahem....wasn't an accurate representation of what their goals were. I won't put so much trust in that anymore. My fault.
