Merry Christmas :twothumbs:.

Very Sharp Hot Rod !!! :twothumbs:

Thanks man! :thumb:

looks great, i really want those wheels charcoal grey on mine!

What made you go with the blue on the rims? Kind of an "out there" choice. Not knocking it...actually I find it ballsy and risky. :thumb:

Dang! Those blue SS rims really set the ride off! Good looking..

Wanted some contrast, found it to be bland, plus if I can back them up with a little power I thought I'd be safe. Thanks:twothumbs:!

Admittedly they weren't the color I had went in counting on, a little fail on my part and on my powdercoater. I sent examples, but I didn't have a example sprayed of the color he suggested. Volk Racing makes a magnesium blue, well these are sapphire! Oh well, wasn't matching anything regardless :lol:.

:twothumbs: Good luck man!

Thanks, being a bodyshop manager I wish the Pad a good recovery along with yourself!

Thanks Joe, really appreciate it!
