First of all nice project that you have going.

But I just want to ask why you went with the replica route when you're dropping so much money on the engine, drivetrain, and wheels? Just not a big fan of replicas, thats all.
Hey i've seen your car in cali......but did you just purchase this car? or were you the one i meet a while ago?

Looks great.

Quick question (and feel free to PM if you want):

What was your process for chroming the lips? Did you send them back to HRE and have them do it all, or did you disassemble and do it yourself? I've stopped bumping my HRE for sale thread. I just don't think I can stomach selling them. I've been thinking about having the lips chromed as well.

Please do not put those HREs on. The car deserves better than that IMO

I think it's more of the color is what i'm trying to get at. Flite's HRE's have a nice subtle tone to it. For example:

I believe this Imola Orange RHD VGS went to waste with the new owner.

From this:



To this:



But it's really up to you
