Project OVRKILL: The BLING Phase!!!
Nothing changed there, but the centers were cut to be further outboard. Can't confirm by how much.
Thanks!
Color only exists with Fikse. Having been exposed to similar finishes in the OEM world, its a multi-layered process of base, middle coat and clear in a combo of paint and powder. Color is called Dark Speed Silver and is absolutely stunning in the sunlight. I'm proud to be the the first 4th gen to sport them
Thanks FAB....might be looking for a couple "extra" details from you guys to finish things off!

A little "meat and potatoes" update. K-member and control arms getting ready for the shiny new bullet! Spent some time making the spindle as purty as the UMI goodies.
Detail stuff still in the works. Have boxes of chrome, powder and hyro-coat parts out for finishing. Should all be back in a couple weeks....
In the meantime...bullet "cradle"!

I think I saw your motor last time I was up at VASpeed talking to shawn. Looks killer man. Good Luck with everything.
Hey Guys,
I've seen Brent's machine, and all I can say is that this is a "FIRST CLASS" project in the making! Definitely no expense spared.
I can't wait to see the finished product.
Good luck with the rest of your build Brent!

Headers and exhaust ordered today
....naturally, nothing "off the shelf" 
While I'm still waiting for go-fast parts to be finished, I'm in the "what else can I do?" mode....
Bilstein make-over! Yellow and blue were not going cut it!! Hard to tell in these pics but I used a light silver metallic to match the V caipers. Didn't come out to bad...
V-brakes are beautiful to begin with. Problem is, this is not a V. Soooooo.....
1. Remove "V" decal
2. Replace with Carbon Fiber film "Brembo"

Lookin' tight Brent!! 
Very sophisticated but not too understated. (What the hell did I just say!)
I'm in Petoskey (northern Michigan) vacationing with the family (still asleep
after a loooong night) checkin' out the forum and itchin' 
to get back to work on my ride if you know what I mean.
C'ya,
Jim

Looks great! How did the seam on top of the wheel well get blended so well? I know there is an area that kind of flips upward and is open underneath. Did the metal get shaved down and then filled? It looks too smooth to just be filed over.
