Looking good.
The material gives you better traction when having a girl in the most uncomfortable position known to man....



In the back of a Beetle :-)

Don't worry my friend, the wheels are already sorted :wink:

Just to give you an idea of the wheel choice. (I think I posted this before).

Secret weapon ? I was reverring to the plastic mesh that is fitted over the material to give it that cool breeze look

Going to look very nice with those BBS like wheels.

Those are A-line Falcons. The BBS rims are going on the Bay.
Yes we are lowering it. That was just fooling around after I bought the wheels. The front beam with the adjusters is awaiting assembly and installation. The rear will be turned 1 spline I think. We'll see when we get there.
I can't wait!!
