Wow. Excellent choice on that colour, can't wait to see it finished and as mentioned before, go with the turbines!

Haven't been able to find any for sale.

Can some one post a picture so I know that I'm looking for the correct turbine wheels?

Nice to see a manual csi, really transforms the car compared to the auto

Thank you sir! Searched the Web for a set for sale but no luck yet.

I'm still waiting on my body guy to do the final buffing so progress is very slow. I was tempted to buff it my self but I'm afraid of burning the paint do leaving it to the pros.

They're gone now

Your oil pan story is what convinced me to buy it lol

I finally picked up some wheels!

I had to decide whether it was worth it for me to drop $4k on real 3 piece show stopper wheels or go for the budget friendly solution. Well I'm weeks away from launching the product I've been working on and self funding for years now so my decision was easy.

I went for the budget friendly solution and am actually very happy with the look!

I'm playing with spacers and tires sizes now. I have a 20mm and 15mm spacer now so I've gotta see what works best.

And here's my cheap plug for my product....
DRINK CURA!!! Coming to stores near you! Haha

[XerXes310]

The colors starting to really come alive!

Should be done with the body work after one more pass with the buffer and then wax.

[XerXes310]

I'm coming home! Buffing and wax is finally done...



Game time! This should be fun.



Hoping the rears natural camber is enough to tuck the tires. If not, I'll just get smaller spacers.

Love the color on some plain polished/ brushed wheels. A clean OEM + look. Awsome car!
