Pete do not take off the TME design, that is makes it look really noice. Plus only a few people actually know what it means. ( a few when compared to the thousands that see it everyday ). Sorry to hear about the accident. Glad ya got it fixed. with the new bumper you might be able to beat Kevin ( smokedmustang ) at Winged Warrior event next year.

well, he fell asleep behind the wheel and when the highway turned, he kept going straight and to avoid him running over me, i whacked the cement highway barrier. It cracked one of my wheels and ripped the tire off of it leaving me driving 55-65 on a bare rim. OZ discontinued those rims about 1-2 years ago and the only place that still has them is 1010tires.com and they wont sell them for less than $320 per wheel and they wont break the set of 4. So instead of buying a full set of Chrono's for $1280 i went with the Superleggeras for $1000 and sold the 3 good Chronos on ebay.

i liked the Chronos because they had that deep offset "deep dish" look to them... but those Superleggeras are soooooooo light weight!
