I like the cluster, but god that's gonna look weird with a red dash...I'll have to see pics.

So, is it going to be the garage queen/show car.

Or a DD?

Re: Spartan GL's GTP Showcar (RIMS ARE ON! 05/22/2011)

I actually like those a lot more than I thought I would, just enough red. But please don't add anymore red on the car.

And like you said WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLL GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPP!!!!!
 
Re: Spartan GL's GTP Showcar (RIMS ARE ON! 05/22/2011)

i think i liked the gtx more. only u had a silly tire on them. ill wait for a proper shoot to decide if i like these. feels like a little bit too much red.

This. The wheels don't do much for me...if they were a semi-gloss black without the red stripes in the spokes I bet they'd look way better.

Do you still have the GTX wheels?

Re: Spartan GL's GTP Showcar (RIMS ARE ON! 05/22/2011)

Like the new wheels, but still like your GTX ones better on that car.
 
Re: Spartan GL's GTP Showcar (RIMS ARE ON! 05/22/2011)

Dude...I actually love those rims on there...looks great, BUT DAMN drop the ***** before I set it on fire. The engines not even in my car, and its got less wheel gap up front than yours, XD.
 


Re: Spartan GL's GTP Showcar (RIMS ARE ON! 05/22/2011)

Figures, got lovers of the rims, and some who hate them. ah life...

the GTX rims had a different look for the car, but i like these much better. new photos will be up later this week of the new suspension, and brakes.

Heading to ZPS powdercoating to get the GMPP front and rear sway bars and the new brakes powdercoated today.

should have em back in a day or two.
 
Re: Spartan GL's GTP Showcar (RIMS ARE ON! 05/22/2011)
