Hey Cliff, thanks!
The car is slightly raised in the front because the wheels are turned in the pictures which lifts the front a bit. It's sitting flat, no worries
The Alcantara is just sprayed with #90 glue and a razor blade. The tough corners were hit with a hairdryer to soften the plastic before I sprayed the glue.
It's getting easier but still scares me every piece I do. The tough part is you only do the same piece once so you can only learn somethings from your mistakes.
