New Shoes

How are they? Do you like them, my new flat black wheels? Car color will change. I want flat grey... What do you think?

Re: New Shoes

Flat grey??? Wheels look good. I plan to have my wheels in black as well. My car is already grey. Did you go to The Gathering in Atlanta this year?

I have many questions to ask as to how you got the hood to line up correctly. Mine sticks up a bit on the driver side. I've lowered the bump stops as far as I can, lowered the hood latch as far as I can, and even shimmed the fender/bumper cover up to try and get it to light up and it still has a bit of a gap.

I'm writing from Istanbul/Turkey, I've never been in Atlanta :-)
Hood was there when I bought the car. Sorry I don't know exactly, how to line up hood correctly. But I think bump stops can't help to fix it. It's a hinge and latch issue.

Re: New Shoes

Maybe mine is warped then. That or the manufacturer sells these hoods and they don't fit correctly.

Re: New Shoes

like the wheels. I dont know if flat grey will look good, it will look like the car is only primed, unless thats the look you are going for.
