First off...THANK YOU everyone for the feedback. Now to answer questions and explain my choices...
WHEELS: i originally wanted to use 6-spoke FSVT wheels. Had a set lined up, but the buy backed out, so there went that. I then found chrome 7-spoke split-spoke Kazera wheels, but for $1600, I'm just gonna save up for those
So I got what i could afford. And yes...they are from Pep Boys. What i dont like about them is they get dirty quick and seem to hold the dirt on. I plan on either powdercoating them or clear coating them. Shine em up and make them easier to clean.
PAINT: I did paint it myself, and I can thank Rustoleum for the color (and when i say "Rustoleum", I mean spray paint. YES...SPRAY PAINT). Went to a couple places to match the paint, yet no one could. The blue, yes. The metallic, no. The color flop, no. So my decision was made to use spray cans so i could get the exact color i wanted. I did, however, have a hard time figuring out the other color. Drew up using silver on top, and i liked it. But I used the charcoal on some interior pieces, and I liked that too. It doesnt have the same metallic content as the blue, but it does have almost a carbon fiber black/gray/gold flop to it, which i do like. I may try to mist some silver over the charcoal to possibly give it some more sparkle to match the blue.
MISC: The tail lights are actually trailor tail lights, 60 LEDs each! BRIGHT AS $#!+. Had to black out the center part because they would blind people behind me at traffic lights. They didnt take to well to tinting. I think they look better with the black housing, as opposed to chrome/euro look. The set that is on now is basically a mock up set for fitment and layout of the set that I am working on now. It will be more of a "3D" look and will flow better with the original tail light setup. "Trial and error type of thing". I do plan on lowering the car (Andy) and tinting the windows. Also some more exhaust work and possibly a 3L???
