NEW PICTURES IN POST #66!

I just got done removing all the curb scratches, repolishing the lips, and orbital buffing the faces on my new (old) wheels (in my garage). It took 6 hours total. Very uneventful. The fender rolling took about 4 hours. I need to raise the car up about 3 threads. It's rubbing and knocking on the top part of the front inner wheel well on hard bumps. I am installing some 16mm spacers in the front after I have time to put the extended wheel studs on. The wheel studs are just sitting in my room right now.

I did a quick photo shoot last night; and a quick edit. These pictures did not turn out the way I wanted. I might take some daytime pictures tomorrow if I have some time. I forgot to take a side-profile shot!

I really like the new look of the car. I'm still trying to sell the Work VS-xx's. It's taking forever! Enjoy, guys!

Looks good. You should get some BBK to complement the wheels.

nice pics, hot car, can't wait to see day time pics.
Wheels are hot, specs?
Are you gonna get a rear lip/bumper? I think the rear needs something cos you got the front and sides.

I think the car is done for awhile. I might get some tail lights. Gotta save for the next car!
