Body is painted, I think there is three wet coats, up next will be the cleat coats, still waiting on the wheels to get here.

I took the pic before the last round of wet coats were put on

[Bennyg]

That's turned out great. I better hook into my brz.

Thanks Bryan, not as good as some of the paint work you do, or a lot of guys on here, some day I wish , anyways, moving on, getting some more work done

I replaced the kit grill piece with some mesh screen, I think it looks better, plus the headlights have been installed

taillights as well

and working on the painting the trim, I always have bad with it, still need to clean it up

[martinfan5]

I can get this one finished up, the wheels made it to me today

Now, I am going to be making some changes to them, this was the closet to the style I have on the one in the pic, so I am going to remove the inner ring that is on them, like this

and here is a quick mock up

now trying to decide what tires to use, the kit tires or the ones that came with the wheels, on left is the kit tires, right ones that came with the wheels

[dirtracer2448]

I say use the kit tires in back while using the tires that came with the wheels up front, give it more of a (not really) raked look

[Bill Eh?]

I agree with Tyler. From your picture, it appears that the kit wheels/tires are slightly bigger in diameter. The new set look basically the same except for the inner ring just inside the lip. The inner ring adds to the appearance of making them look smaller.

Yeah you know I think Tyler is right bigger in back smaller up front. I didn't even think of that before
