It's making progress!!!

UPDATE!!!

A few pictures from a morning photo shoot since I was early for class. First one was taken in front of the Walter P. Chrysler museum (ironic, right?), the rest were taken in front of some dumpsters in the OCC parking lot.









AND in a late-night work session, one of my wheels has been striped! I think it looks really good, and will definitely set my car apart from the rest, which is one thing I'm really going for. I like to be tasteful, so I'm using all the small details I can to really pull my car together into something that has never been seen before. Anyway, enough with my goals for the car, PICTURE TIME!!!



Yes, taking non-flash pictures of deep black wheels is tough, but I think you get the idea. Wheels should be mounted this weekend, if not, my head may explode.

Looks awesome!

howd you do that stripe?

[TheyCallMe Tim]

Vinyl tape I got of ebay. It's 1/4 inch wide, comes in 4 pre-curved sections. Works great, I hit the lip of the wheel with rubbing alcohol to make sure as little oil as possible was on the wheel before I stuck the vinyl on. It looks amazing, it's not perfect, but unless you're getting up REAL close and nit-picking like crazy you would never know.

Well i love the wheels

Wow man that wheel looks awesome!

Front turn signals have been niteshaded, but I've decided no more update pictures until the wheels are mounted. I can't wait, this thing is going to look AWESOME.

Well, I was bored and I had some aluminum laying around... so I made a switch panel. Now all I need is nitrous!

WHEELS ARE ON!!!

Took these pics about... half an hour after I finished mounting the wheels. OU parking structure FTW. Yes, the tires kind of look like shit, I was fresh out of tire dressing and far too excited to care. They're better now.













I'll take some more pictures in daylight once I get it cleaned up a little bit. She's dusty.

looks better than I thought it would!

Nice job pulling it off!

[TheyCallMe Tim]

Thanks! I'm busy polishing the piss out of it in preparation for the M&G but I'll snap some pictures with clean, dressed tires when I'm finished.

[TheyCallMe Tim]

Just finished polishing and waxing in preparation for the M&G, so she's looking REAL shiny right now. Not an amazing photoshoot like I usually do (for now), but I think you get the idea.











BTW, tires are Riken Raptors 275/40/17
