I like the color, but too much convex on the spokes.

Hey Jim, the car is looking great! I am doing bodywork and paint on my car at the local community college, it should be finish by the end of June. I am doing all the work myself with some feedback from my instructors. I am enrolled in the Automotive Collision Technology program and I will complete the program this July.

Hi Jim. Did not know you had this build thread going. Your paint job in incredible and the overall look is fantastic! I really enjoyed reading through it. I have a BB R1 that needs the same treatment. One of these days I'll get to it !

You mentioned it was quite hard to get the plateless bumper installed. Would this be something you would do again or just go 99 spec? I was about to pick one up but when I saw it in person I changed my mind. I did not think I could get it to look right.
