I walked out the door with my 7D ready to shoot some proper photos this AM with the sunrise as a backdrop and had to abort. All my work last night cleaning the car was for nothing, it sprinkled and now there is water spots everywhere. Black paint = grrr.
Cell phone booty shot will have to suffice.

Yeah, 86'ed em. I was getting some weird reflections and also the color between the sets were off. One side blue, the other white. I opened the lights back up and yanked them out. If it ain't perfect it's just wrong.

So it's looking like the wheels will potentially be showing up this week or next. I had the option to get a custom offset and took it, thanks @ekset! These aren't a custom cast, just something they had a few of that could work. The wheels are coming coated gunmetal and I've decided to get them powder coated flat black. R5:F in flat black is going to look super tough and sexy as fudge. Heavy, but really good looking. I will eventually be tracking the car so my current plans are to purchase either Weds or SSR wheels for track days that are super light. My next decision I need to make is what coilover set up to get. This is a daily driver that I want to exude style on the street and performance on the track. Oh man, decisions decisions. Hey Tein, wanna send some Mono Flex's for me to try out for you
