Looks great! I'm usually not a fan of black wheels, however those look really nice with the Torch Red.

Wheel details? They look great on TR.

Great job detailing! Just did my TR last weekend, spent a good 5 hours, well worth it.

direct sun light is the worst for photographs. Bring your car to an area where you can get out of the sun, like a park or wait for a day when the clouds give you a bit of cover.

Your Vette looks great! Love the flared fenders & Forgestars. I know it's OT, but what is that wagon/hatchback/thing sitting beside it?
