tacky...gold and chrome ftl. The wheels look alright, but they would look better on an LR coupe

I like it. But isnt it bad for non-forged wheels to be powdercoated?

Looks really bad IMO.

When you painted the emblem you should've taped off the inside edges so only the face of the emblem would've been gold. Right now it looks unfinished, but there's really nothing you can do to get the original grill color back unless you paint the entire thing black.

i do agree about the front grill emblem. inside should be black, and just leave the tip gold.

i love everything else though

Where did you hear that??

I hate the emblems, ick

The wheels look pretty good though. Change your valve gaps from those bunk nitro green ones

I think gold needs a lip to look good.
