well, ive been workin like crazy lately and havent had much time for my 510. i have been driving it back and forth to work for the last 2 weeks and havent had a single problem.

engine bay is gross. p/o painted it several times and did a shitty prep job. the paint peels off in sheets. i plan to clean up and hide most of the wiring also.

you need to do another set of doors so you can shave those handles then for race weekend you can swap um out......are you gonna shave licence plate lights,you could use the lightnboltz for lights....they are the bolt to hold plate on but they have leds in them to light up plate....there way cool...my black dime is that way....and i got the stuff to do the red one..

there only bout 30.00 for a set , but really cleans it up ...not the best pic but a pic...

just 15x7 0 offset rewinds. i want the extra clearance so i can drop it some more and not rub

 

Those 15x7 0 offset Rewinds look great! What size tires are on there? Also are those shouldered lug bolts?

 

You and your car are inspiring me. :)
