    Almost back to 100% but I couldn't wait any longer.

    A few more items to address still for Schuh but the exterior is 100% save for a proper alignment hopefully tomorrow.

    A quick shoot with fading light. "Point and shoot style with my DSLR" as I didnt have time to play with the light. The color is changes a whole bunch, they are super dark here but at the end I show em with direct sunlight.





















    The color in the sun


    255's look small next to the 295's


    I'll bet Mscire2 will be able to do them justice this weekend at Schuh.

    Enjoy!

    Love how the wheels came out. The whole car, overall, amazing. Worth the long build thread.

    Very nice. I dig it for sure.
    And that fitment is pretty spot on.

    It is about as extreme as you can get in a non-stanced since. The liners will be self clearancing the first few drives that is for sure.

    Thats. I'll be getting a full shoot of all the items done over this season, all of which contribute to its 1 of 1 theme if that's a thing. The wheels are just a part, the new euro cooling system and the headlights are the other two that were a big factor this season.

    Great work, love it. Awesome that you went so outside the box and it paid off. only suggestion would be going back to OEM kidneys and side gills.

    It got a little overwhelming these last few weeks but is finally coming together!

    Kinda sucks Rastel beat me to the punchline by a few weeks but it was nice knowning it would work

    I only like "chrome" on my wheels and headlights. Trying to figure out a way to black out the hatch button that won't look aweful and still function!

    It was the closest place to my house I could think of. Trying to keep miles low on the garage alignment.

    Can't wait to see them in person. Wish I had time to finish my wheel build before Wednesday but that's not going to happen. Looks good.

    I'm curious what your second choice for wheel color was. I'm not sure if it's just in the picture but I'm not digging it, but that's just me.

    Love the wheel choice and fitment-- spot on!

    The color on the other hand isn't doing it for me but that could be due to the lousy lighting. Awaiting some proper shots.

    There really wasn't another. A different bronze maybe but it's hard to tell how the color samples will come out on something large scale. The lighting is killing it in these photos though I will admit, but was itching to show off. Haha.
