Decided to run 15x7 cookies all around. Cookies on a mid year just works. Brushed the lips, blacked the center, entire wheel has been cleared

Those cookies look really nice!!! I was wondering what gloss clear would look like on brushed lips.

They are actually a flat black but the lighting is throwing it off. They are way more “flat” in person

Jim - Wow- that car looks beautiful!! You do incredible work.

Did you plate the parts yourself or have it done?

What is the reasoning behind having a black outer edge on the door's interior surface?

I’m not entirely sure the reason but they were done this way at factory. I could be wrong but I believe at one point it was brushed on. Maybe to “finish” the look where door panels don’t cover

Man..........that thing is looking good!!!!!!

Badass as always. In for more

7 in cookies all around on middies look rad

Coincidentally, I have been looking at these same seats for my Continental Orange car (but have just started looking). Are these actual Recaros? Or the 'unbranded' ones advertised on eBay?

I don’t remember these being this expensive :mad:

Everything these days are expensive for these cars only because it has that crest on the hood.

That would be correct.. brushed on.

And the spectrum Recaros are sooo period! Nice work my friend!

As much as I envisioned this build with its sugar scoops. I think these are the right move

Wow Jim. Stunning. You’re so talented. I have so many questions but I’ll just keep it at a couple.

1. Who did your head / machine work? Beautiful.
2. What is the gray coating on your valve covers and timing chain boxes? Love the colors and texture/ sheen.
