Here's a couple more teasters that show the blue a little better. I'm adding white roll bars and white mirrors soon.

Nice vision and execution! I didn't think I would like it, but it looks terrific. Is that paint or powder on the wheels? Looking forward to seeing your future additions.

SO cool! Now paint the trunk badge white for a little more balance.

Ballsy. Didn't sound like a good idea, but must admit the end result is pretty special. Kudos.

Very nice looking bro. I have been thinking of taking my porsche chrome wheels and going white like you have done with the white stripe. I first thought black but your WHITE outcome looks dang good. Nice job.

I used to love black wheels, its to common now though. Plus I get a lot of enjoyment out of how much the white bothers people.

I haven't made up my mind on the ambers yet, I'm thinking about going really retro with the headlights and having my machine shop make 356 style metal mesh covers for them. I love the retro race car look, that might be taking it to far though.

Cheers
