I'm thinking Rick just hooked one......reel him in!

You guys can thank my son for these shots. I’ve yet to see on in person and would love to. Looks like a damn fighter jet.

I read somewhere that the seats are not even adjustable, you adjust the pedal cluster to your liking.

No, I think he was so jealous when he saw how good my red calipers look with the blue, he couldn't resist. 😎

P.S. The GS is at Lee Berbs right now, can't wait to see the corrected and ceramic coated finish.

actually I have a very old 'gold' kit if anyone wants it for free. IT's new
from the subie days..

mice update, trapped 3 in the attic so far, and just bombed the attic with 8 trays of used kit litter @iman29

are you painting them a dif. color? is the original paint falling off?

Original color is dark grey - looks blah. The R comes with red calipers, I got blue. It's not an exact match to Lightning Blue but should look decent.

That's what I've read but guys on the G6 mustang board have given some good reviews on this kit. Figure it's worth the 70 bucks - if it blows I'll have them professionally done

Lee is about $1000+ or so depending on the car, paint condition, and coating used.

Way too much! Since this is a daily driver for me, I'm having the correction done as well as Expel film protection on the front and the ceramic coating. Total is about $2K. 😱 I have to spend the money from selling 2 cars somehow though. Also I can rest easy knowing that @Carson approves. ?

I know that look....its called "ruined"...but what would I expect from a place called "hubcap, tire and wheel. "

there is a fine line between looks good and ruined...good rule of thumb tho...if my 6 year old thinks it looks good, you fucked up.

haha remind me to consult your son when I'm new wheel shopping - yeah it's easy to go off the rails with wheels - I would never get something that ridiculous

Is that from lake Hopatcong, pretty sure I saw it cruising around yesterday?

Nope this one was cruising at the shore by Chadwick Beach.
