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

Don't worry my friend, the wheels are already sorted
Just to give you an idea of the wheel choice. (I think I posted this before).

I forgot we took those pics of the calipers holding the wheels
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.
Are you going to lower it a little as well ?

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!!

Looking great Pierre.
Do you have any pics of the discs and calipers? I'm dying to see what they look like up close.
