I am honestly not 100% sure yet. We are going to do some test sprays with reds, brown and grays.. and possibly mix colors in between.

Cheers guys, hope to have it back together soon.
The black faced/ polish lipped wheels are gone, but I liked the look. Not for everyone I know and it comes off as very dodge neon/ pep boys-ish. I can understand that.

Me neither.. did some barrel work.
Here is a comparison to how they looked from RB to what it looked like with some simple green, steel wool and some good old fashioned elbow grease.
Front bumper/ valence, rear valence, grill and wheel faces are off to the painter to fix/ prime/ re-paint.

I am back... With progress that most of you have seen.
Additions:
Burgundy Bagyard Struts
LED Tails
More Burgundy Bits
Refinished Burgundy AMG Aero II's 18x8.5 et 44 with fresh bolts
The outcome..
Some minor recognition..
http://speedhunters.com/archive/2009...gged-golf.aspx
I still have a few more minor tweaks for H2Oi, but this phase is almost over.
I built this car for myself, but I am flattered at the response that it has gotten. It could go either way. Ultimately I feel that it is heading in the right direction. I am going to stay at this point for the rest of the season and make a call next year on if I want to go further. I graduate from lawschool next spring, so there is a good chance that this is all she wrote. Not a bad way to wind up.
Stay Classy...

Hah.. get in line.
Thanks for the comments! I am looking forward to H20i, where I will either be at a booth or in the WFSU club parking section.
Cheers.

WOW! That turned out great.
We also have club parking at H2O so hopefully we will be near each others spots so we can all hand out.
