[boardjnky4]

17X10 & 17X8.5. Gold finish.

3.875 lip inna da rear

[Jagermeister]

Works. Ugh, so hot.

Will the gold finish be more like orange gold up top or the yellow gold in the bottom pic?

Yeah, its just wrap that they use for shipping to protect the blingin lip.

[newman]

the car is being painted green.

Olive army super high gloss…

The cage and engine are being done a really dark bronze. MMMM…

This is what i did tonight… It’s as far from the reservoir as i can get it. May need a heatshield. The DP and mani are getting coated with swaintech white lightning. The DP will be completely enclosed by the tunnel.
