Nice, i broke a few bolts in my RXIIs and am spending time scratching my head on getting them out and this last wheel split.

Otherwise i am researching Adapters and debating on Color scheme for the BBS for best sellable variation.

Need sheet metal. Have the pattern made out of cardboard. It will look great. Debating on relocating the battery to the trunk.

I like how you kept the same colors with the lights

I rigged up my cigarette light again, still not how I want it. Cleaned up my trunk and hung my head in shame because of how dirty it is. Oh well...
