Taking a break

Time to pause on spending money on the ride. Had the roof blacked out/wrapped after I added a transparent roof. Ceramic window treatment/tint all the way around except the small windows and rear glass. Paint correction plus total car ceramic; windows, wheels, everything. Just had carbon flash rocker panel extensions installed today. That’s it for awhile. Thinking wheels next...

It’s never enough for the money sink that is cars as a hobby.

It looks nice, I’m not a fan of black wheels, but the machined edge on your looks great, definitely the way to go!

Nice job with the mods to your car. I do like the machined portion of the wheels.

Thank you, it’s just enough changes that I’m happy with the look. Sometimes less is more. The wheels are good tho the “nub” sort of round bits on the machined face sometimes annoy me.

In fairness, he said awhile, and he’s already talking wheels!

Thanks bud. Wheels may be next but it’s not going to be for awhile, hence the taking a break part.
