    hey guys...heres the pics from today...the car has its first layer of color on it to see any imperfections or waves in the paint

    now they're sanding it all down again after fixing any imperfections

    but the color looks freaking beautiful!!!

    Also they mounted the Canards on the URAS bumper, which looks fucking insane!!!

    now just gota paint the bottom lip and the canards gloss black (which will later be wrapped in carbon)

    next layer of color will go on monday!!!

    alright guys

    heres the update for today

    i finally got to push the now semi color matching car together with a semi-decently sized tire

    and even this semi-put together car...looking fucking insane!!!!! and the front bumper looks out of this world amazing! much better than i thought it would!!

    the wheel i put on the rear is cheapy chinese POS Vossen wheel that i refuse to allowed to be seen on my car, i really can't stand having chinese cheapy knock off wheels on my car :wall bash:

    but either way, its a 20x10.5 +30 with a 285/30/20 tire, i purposely used an oversized diameter wheel so i could make sure there wouldn't be any rubbing issues when the suspension travels

    the wheel setup i'll be building for it at ISS Forged will be an 18x12 or 18x12.5 so you can kind of get an idea of what the difference in sizing will be

    heres the pics

    Any idea which ISS design you'll choose? These would look pretty good I think...

    i spoke to Janoy over there yesterday... and he's making me a really special set of wheels

    thats why i love those guys...they're all tuners at heart with their own manufacturing facility that they gave me a tour of, not just some douches sitting in an office making phone calls and collecting your money!
