I think I like the color on the newly refinished CEs better than the original LE color scheme. A polished lip on one piece wheels looks out of place to me.
Thanks!

I only bought the LE's as I got them for a steal, but yeah, I prefer the non polished lip as well.

Those wheels are getting redone again...and may end up like this

Get your wing stands and windshield frame done in orange as well (and if not your windshield frame, then your mirros). It would look fairly striking.

Also, pretty cool you got to meet Dan Wheldon. Heard he was a real stand up guy. Rip.

Striking is right I'm still not convinced on going orange on the wheels, might be a bit too bright for me.

Glad to see the OG's making build threads. Seems the longer the users keep the car, the better the build.
Love the details.

Yeah, I tend to just post random pics in threads. I thought about it yesterday and thought it was time I made my own thread. It was rather tricky remembering when I did what though, good thing the pics have dates of when they were taken or I would've been screwed.
