Beautiful!

I'd just like to have the stuff you toss out every time you mod each month!

Yes and no. The others never have, these do. Why? Well it's simple: The stoptech BBK has some sort of a plate that acts as a spacer, but it's a tad too wide and causes my wheel, which though was made to fit BBK (Brembo most likely), causes the rims to stick out a few millimeters out, hence bringing the tires closer to the fenders. So it does rub when I take turns at low speed. I'm gonna find a remedy on it: Either get Brembo brakes, or do a little custom wide body up in the front.

I think your car would look better if the only chrome found on it was on the wheels. Black out the grill, remove the star, and take away the chrome rail around...

Nice though

That an idea I'm working on. And the wheels aren't chrome, they're polished

Beautiful! Do you do the polishing? If so what do you use? If not, was this done by a detail shop??

Fine fine work!
