camera's acting weird? looks like it got a bright light shined into it sometime . should wear off in a few days, weeks at most.

also, very nice, although i'm not feeling the rims. look too translucent, not opaque enough.

she likes it, i'm going to do away with those ridgeless delrin wheels and put something less cartoonish looking on it, and...i still have to clear coat it, touch up a few things, and finish up the chassis work, i'll probably get working on the chassis tonight.

put some bbs style rims on it. aluminum finish would look best.

very nice, the purple gpm you can see from the back end, really complements the rest of the car well, but the rims do not do the rest of the car justice, 10 spoke 'star' rims would look nice, at least i'd think so...
