MORE to come...exterior detail bits, full interior color change, and planning on Switzer Extreme SL65 Performance upgrade (my car will be the beta test bed). So...30% or so done on the build...keep an eye out for it...

We were going with a 10 spoke wheel but after seeing the wide body we thought we needed a wheel with more presence. So we are going with Rotiform BLQ's...very concave and aggressive. Its not a wheel for everyone but I personally really like the look...especially for a GT...machined face, polished lip, and black barrel.

Well wheels showed up a day early...fastest turnaround time I've ever had for build to spec wheels...4 weeks.
