Looks better and better. The rendering of this car is looking awesome. The painted bumper will make the car more of a complete piece. Also the side exhaust is a nice touch. Great job!

How did you balance those tires? Dont see any weights on the outside. But then again on a set of CCW's I wouldnt have those weights on the lips either.

Weight doesnt move or anything? Must be some potent stuff to make that stick.

They are essentially double sided taped on the inside of the wheel barrel. When the wheel spins it creates gravity pushes them out more into the tape (similar to how you can swing a glass of water around/upside down and it won't spill).

That is SICK! The bumper looks amazing McNord! I think it would look even better if you did it like the blue GM Sunoco car and set the grill farther back.

I like the overall look of the car, white looks good just needs a little more shine to the paint. A white lip on the rims will make them even nicer!

There's some VERY nice work in that car! I'm not a huge fan of the hood and the spoiler almost kills it for me, but overall it's gonna look sick.

Oh and I'm gonna have to put in a vote for satin black too

hahaha! hell yea man.

Must say the outside pictures make me love the car even more! They just basically complete the car. They fill out the wheel wells and make it look extremely beefy. The TT2s looked so dainty and small.

Car looks fantastic man. KEEP IT WHITE!

The spoiler will be losing a lot of weight, its too much. I did it all with the car in the garage & never got a chance to step back far enough to get a good look. It will be getting about 2-3" shorter.
