        *    Every panel on this cuda was replaced and those panels were scarcely installed out of the box. Instead each panel was massaged and customized to create a shape that's definitely ‘cuda” but ever so slightly different at the same time. All outer trim was shaved including door handles . mirrors . side markers and anything else that would detract   from the clean flowing profile. Weeks of block sanding . gap- checking and other tedious work was done separating  the good cars from the great ones. This “cuda” was completely de-badged  and the the bumpers were also tucked .
