Not your wheel but mine. Yours looks good.

As the Captain said...he was like a little kid in the back seat but I loved every minute of it! This came out very nice and the Captain even helped a little.....

The only hard part was getting to all the screws and clips to get the passenger dash pad off to install the AC vent trim rings.


Now on to the engine bay.

Meant to comment on this when I saw it before - what a unique combination! I'll bet it looks even better in person. And always remember, modding a car you really like is similar to Lay's chips during a good football game - - - you just can't stop! Nicely done.

I thought about doing just that as I have a Black Carbon Flash holder....But when you see it in person...it really goes well with the rest of the car.....Remember the front splitter and side rails...nothing on the back EXCEPT the plate holder....

That looks very sharp. At first I thought it was too much red, but I corrected myself. Nice job by the installer also. Be careful not to over do it. Looks great now as it is.

Like the HEADING said ALL DONE. The only thing I didn't install are the splash guards....they did the WHOLE guard instead of just the edge. Since they are a snap to install...when I do a show I will just pop them on and then take em off for the ride home. They really finish the exterior off and make the wheel wells SPARKLE.
