Beautiful!!!!! The only question I have is what is your ride quality like? With the springs and the polygraphite bushings and all. Other than that, my only suggestion is waiting for sunset to take pics of your CV, especially with the lighter (white in your case) colored paints. Excellent workmanship on that car; enjoy mang!!!!!!!
