    Lovin' the new wheels! They fit the attitude of the car much better, and the color combo looks great against the green.

    The new wheels look pretty good, although I think I liked the 6UL's a little more, but that might just be because I've always been a fan of bronze wheels and wasn't really a fan of black with polished lip. (Like in that picture you posted in the other thread, the wheels disappear). Either way, the car looks great! Keep it up, looking forward to more updates.

    Here is my thing on my wheels. I loved my 6ul's, very light, looked good, strong wheels. But they were just too small. If I could go back I would want a 15x8 and they would be fine. Now what I REALLY love is mesh. I can't afford SSR mesh and I don't like enkei 92's so my only choice was OG sans. But problems with those also. While they fit perfectly, they are heavy and they don't have a polished lip. Its aluminum brushed, and you can't get them polished because of a weird lip they have.

    But I love them, love the way they fit and hope I have these longer then 2 months.

    And don't wish to see more updates! That means I spent money!!!!

    I'd rather see you updating than me lol, it's always easier to check out other people's builds than do your own

    I know where you are coming from in your story. Patience always pays off. Driving it home for the first time felt great didn't it?

    So its been a while since I updated and I haven't really done anything. Had a guy I work with want to do a photoshoot of my car which was pretty cool. Also bought a camera the day before and took my hand at taking pictures.

    This is the only picture I have from the photoshoot so far. He is going to email them to me when they are done because I don't want to take them off facebook






    I'm trying to figure out what my next move is going to be. I'm trying to get a bikini top, frame rails, fix the small rust hole under the car, shifter rebuild and thats it. Thanks for looking folks, love whoring the pictures.
