The hood looks 10x better in person. Saw it at a car meet today. The whole set up is sick.

i think this would look sick if the wheels were polished to the same mirror finish as the hood.

the lip of the wheel is, but it's dirty in those pics. Tomorrow, I'll wash the car and get better pictures.

You should strip the paint off the whole car and polish the metal. Then clear coat the body (if possible) so it protects it.

You'd be a moving reflection.

the hood looks good IMO, makes me want to copy you.

i wanted polished wheels for awhile now, this makes me want them even more.

Ok, it's 2 am. I just finished the diamond plate.

I went a different route though.

I thought about what you guys said and instead of doing the entire car in it.

I added some trim of the diamond plate around the wheel wells.

Looks kinda cool.
