Why did he take the rubber trim off? Ruined the aesthetics. I'm kidding.
Looks bad ***. I have always liked white and I think this photo has tipped the scales to painting my project car white. Also Black/polished wheels.

it is awesome! thanks for posting it.

what I like is in the video that lx machado posted you start out with this calm, sereneness ... la-dee-da, cotton candy and ponytails ... and then the engine fires and everything shakes to all hell. bloody priceless!

Awesome pic, do you have any more to show? I'm curious to see how the windshield is fitted since it looks like the trim isn't there and it's all kinda smoothed out. Looks great.
