Thank you all

The car is in the body shop, this is why cars are nearby.

Wow Vincent how much money do you have into this car!!?? ...

the project looks like it's coming along quite well...just hope you decide to keep your car, like forever

I used to be into extensive builds did a few of them, my last being my SL55 AMG where I dumped 25 grand on perfromance, mods...headers, renntech, floored fab you name it, pulleys custom stuff, tuneing etc...etc...etc... car itself was 150 grand not to mention the 25 grand in mods...I'll be lucky to get $45K for it, and it's perfect inside/out, drives awesome...comes with CSC warranty and makes 600+ hp/750+ tq at the rear wheels!! Car is currenlty for sale if you or anyone else here knows a buyer please send them my way!

I love modding I just hate loosing my shirt on re-sale, and it's happened time after time with projects I've done...they cheer you on while you're doing the build then when you go to sell everyone tears you down telling you why they shouldn't pay what you're asking no matter how reasonable you are, even if you take a huge hit, they're always trying to lowball !

@Sunir: I prefer not to talk about money

For me, this project became an obsession. I do not sell the car one day because too much time and money invested.

The only solution: never, ever sell!

But the project is not finished, the power will soon exceed 550 hp ... but chutttt it's a secret...

coincidence, I received two shipments that have nothing to do, one of Los Angeles (rims 19 inch Forgestar) and Miami (carbon parts RSC):

Front (semi concave):

Rear (deep concave):

To see the difference:

Carbon parts:

I weighed my rims without tires:
19x9 -> 10.8kg
19x10 -> 10.9kg

I like the 10-spoke Forgestars better than the CF5s, I feel like they better fit the character of the car.

well done

Which model forgestars are those and what was the cost on them? I just got my CF5s for roughly $1700 shipped (for my SUV), just curious if those are roughly the same or more
