Just an update

Haven't posted in a while. Been an absolute nightmare getting the Forgestar wheels. Used a vendor from here. Will never do business with them again. New wheels with custom colored powdercoat. Long story there to. Anyway. Silvers coilovers going on next week end to get it sitting a bit lower to hug those new wheels and tires. Slow but sure.

The hood looks so dark in this picture. They actually complement the wheels really well

I'm still not in love with it, but cautiously optimistic. Glad the wheel saga finally unfurled for you. What a nightmare.

What other paint work do you plan on doing?

That's a killer ride, Tim. Going to look even better with the coilovers and big brakes installed.

If you had issues with a vendor, any vendor, you should post the story in the transactions forum so that other members will know and decide whether to deal with them... This helps everyone when placing an order...

The colors really go well together I think. Nice work.

Maybe not but there are too many cookie-cutter cars out there. Even though I may not always like something, it's still nice to see different thought processes.
