Inners were powdercoated black, looks clean and is hella better to keep clean.

Adding photo of the rear lip. HRE doesn't make insane lips for the 22" wheels, I can live with the 5 though.
niiice i think imma go with some black wheels now too cus i hate cleanin them so much

That's cool. SEMA had many a JDM peeps trippin on the FX.

I miss the black sometimes, but brushed is so nice. Wheels look bigger not being a black face. This was the first set or 22x6" outer for HRE.

Hi Viet! Haven't been on the boards for a good minute and I think the last time I saw you and the FX was up in Oxnard. The FX looks absolute insane and immaculate! I think that your ride will light a bigger spark in people who have been considering modding their FX's! Truly spectacular man!

Wheels? Brushed is a nice change, had black wheels for a while so nice change. Leaves it open to getting new wheels later in black and not have to think I'm wasting my HREs if I take them off for a little bit.

Auto explosion did all the body and paint. Autoexplosion.net

Not oriental blue. They mixed up a few to get something similar to Majestic blue which was discontinued.

This was a test of one of the lambo blues.

This was in the booth after the Kandy and first coats of clear. Baked overnight, taken out for color sanding and than went back in the booth for more clear and bake. Took up 4-5 days of booth time.

You would be astounded by the number of cars/trucks/suvs/race cars/etc done at Auto Explosion.

The Kandy Apple Escalade is pretty cool. Everything I see that color I sorta wish I did it, but I'm not a red person really and it is THE most popular Kandy color used so one off is a little better for me.

Brandy wine is very nice. Deep without going too purple. This is over a gold base.

Of course driving. If time permits distance is not an issue. Have a work and home life too.

FX is up in Seattle right now, so the drive is 800+ miles or so after I fly up to pick it up.
