Thanks everyone for the complements! And believe me, he will be shooting the car as soon as I get tags on it. Saturday im planning on trading these wheels for some black ZR1's and if its nice we will hopefully get to shoot it then.

Not a big fan of the TT2's and I love the look of the black ZR1's. They were actually on his car before but he traded them and the guy wants to trade back now. Plus my friend OneMeanZ has them on his car and I want to be a little different. With all the black TA's running around here I need something to stand out, lol.

I agree. I think with those wheels, redoing the CETA mod (its gunmetal now, going with satin black), and blacking out the windows she will look amazing.

Shane mentioned something about you having a surprise. Cant wait to see what it is. Have you talked to the guy about the ZR1's? Also, around what time should we ge down there. I figured we'd try to make it down there by 10 atleast.
