Looks WAY better. A couple of things......

Those SP wheels look ****
What are the ultimate plans for this car? FI?
What's up with the fender/bumper gap? Normal?

Sweet ride

Yea, I'm stuck between the SP600's and some brushed iForged Astra's. Still got a little time to think about it.

At the end of the summer most likely a custom TT kit, but def. FI.

The hoods are notorious for fitting issues, in that pic though that side of the hood wasn't latched completely so it is less of a gap now, but still more than I'd like. I may try to adjust it though.

However, I am a fan of less is more and the rear badges were really bothering me. 1, they look off balance, and 2 there was a ton of wax/buildup around each letter from whoever owning this car before waxing it (plus side is they waxed it I guess). So I removed them. Thoughts welcome!

How did you get the glue off?

Heat gun, my thumbs, and some rubbing alcohol. It wasn't bad at all, much less residue left, relatively, than the side moldings left on any of the T/A's I've had.

looks great! And if those had the same bolt pattern I would buy them off of you. I'm in the market for some CCW classics or LM20s. But can't find anything used so I'll prolly go with the LM20s strait from CCW.
