It's such a glorious shade of bronze that you can't help but be impressed, I know I am.

Thank you very much. When I first posted the pics, the caliper/bronze combo seemed to polarize opinions. After a while many have come to embrace it as I have. It's such a cliche, but, they really do look different in-person from one angle to the next, and one lighting condition to the next. I tried to include pics that show just how different they can look at different times.

Thanks blnewt!!! It should go without mentioning...but I will: you're the main one who got me looking in the direction of bronze. I think it really works here. A bit different and unique. I like the OEM 'silver' and gloss black chrome on these wheels, and this has the same sort of themes combined.

Let's not forget: It makes the BBK, which I don't need, really pop!! LOL.

Great color choice on the wheels, Sean! Sunken Treasure is one of my favorite colors for wheels.... wait until the sunny days arrive.... those wheels will pop with brightness!

Good job!

btw, your car (color combo) reminds me of a good video made by Vossen...

Thank you very much!!!

That's a great video! And here some were likening my G to a Ronald McDonald-mobile. LOL

Seriously, that quilted leather is the sh*t. And the carbon fiber accents echoing the pattern...really, really cool.

Thanks Anthony!!

I'm working on some interior stuff this off-season. Completely aesthetic. No performance gains here. I have, however, been a little remiss on the interior. LEDs and.....and well nothing else unless you count all-season mats.

I have started as mentioned above with the steering wheel. And Rochester has roped me into some leather work. LOL

LMAF... too funny.

I've been busy with work so I just tend to pop in from time to time - I think it's a "good" thing since I'm always tempted to do mods after seeing everyone getting their mods done....Peer pressure

I have the Fast Intentions CBE sitting in my basement waiting to be installed... the garage is waaay too cold right now for me to do the install...I keep telling myself "spring time, spring time" but watching exhaust videos have me second guessing

Sykesville. In town. I always say 'in town' so no one thinks I'm a hick. 'Cause Sykesville is a burgeoning megalopolis of 2,455 people. LOL.

My high school, when I graduated back in 2009, had twice that population.
