Looks good!
OEM offset is 16x7 wheel +45 offset iirc.

Nice V8 badge.
meh, its ok, i got the exhaust made that way because nobody else has one like it and normal oval/round tips just bore me

no, the trunk badges are still factory chrome since i havent got the time or patience right now to deal with taking them off or (more importantly) putting them back on.
the front L and the side V8 badges are coated with a black chrome effect.

yes, pass. window was down since it was cold and i feared being locked out (car was running for the first few shots)

I have this fear too! ALL the time.

Looks great, the rim styling makes the wheels look bigger than 20", the DTM tips are pretty different.
