The car was painted today! Going to Detroit Tuned tomorrow morning for the dramatic reveal of the new color! I don't see a lot of sleep happening tonight ! ut:

 

Blue. Blue. Blue. Blue. I am so happy right now. It looks absolutely stunning, and its in pieces.

 

Lots of bits for Chad to put back together!


I've been shopping for new wheels too:

 

No. I welcome input. The star and chrome would be powder coated or shaved off.
I'm leaning toward the middle one as well. I really like the 'lipless' look.

 

Thanks for the heads up on the wheels. Worst case I can just re-powder coat them every year before the Dragon
Here is the hood, and the shaved bumpers.

 

Wheels

I'm going out of my mind obsessing over wheels.
Can anyone identify this one?

I like 5 spoke, but am looking at others.
This is the 'perfect' wheel to me, but only 5 bolt: :mad2:

 

New wheels have been purchased (will be powder coated matte black). Chad is now disassembling for reassembly. Cleaning and making final adjustments.

I have to say that the attention to detail that Detroit Tuned (aka Chad) has done with this project have been absolutely insane. The tiny steering wheel control buttons got masked off, I didnt even do this when I painted them! Washers and bolts match color. Each screw feels like its been thought about. (get your mind out of the gutter)
A lot of progress is being made, and I could not be happier. The interior looks briliant!

 

Houston we have doors!

Comparison of the old Focal F05 rims to the new DxRs: I'm really excited to see them on the car, I like the spokes so much better!


Chad has been busy this weekend, we have doors again!
