Wheels are not quite here. We got the centers for Lisa's Project EmptyNest wheels today. The centers were sent to us so we could highlight them with the accent blue on the car. Oh My God, My boys at Forgeline blew us away with this "Snowflake" design. Intended to pay respect to the infamous Bandit TA wheels, Forgeline nailed it! Of coarse it is hard to get the full perspective without the fat lip rim shells assembled, but it is pretty obvious these things are going to be fricken HOTT! I love the old school tribute and new school mesh blend of styling. I cannot wait to see the rear wheels with a 6" lip!

As of right now these are one off (well, two off, we had a set made for Lisa's 2000 WS6 TA Convertible) but if the interest is out there we may offer these wheels in limited edition quantities.

Look for finished wheel pictures, along with completed Project EmptyNest picturs on October 30 at 6:00AM (opening day for SEMA).

I think there is a market there also. In my business, it is always a struggle when we dream up something cool, like these, or the roll bar. People want to buy it, we would like to sell it and make a few dollars of coarse, but we also would like to keep it to ourselves and have something unique!

I guess the reality is I can think up new cool stuff, so we will probably do a limited run

kind of of topic,but i was looking at the pics of the car at sema.i noticed the front nose doesn't have the ugly black rubber seal between it and the fenders.did you have to do anything special to fit it like that or did you just simply delete the rubber piece?

They are a one piece fiberglass piece we made that eliminates the rubber cushion. Bumper is fiberglass too

Not the fenders, they are steel and we widen / bulge them about 3/4" at the wheelwell. The headlamp doors and bumper are high quality glass and fit the stock fenders. I agree, they really clean the nose up, exactly why we made them. I could not imagine a black runbber stripe breaking the nose in half!

Here is another pic, about the closet I have right now. I will try to get some detailed pics,

Just ignore the blond, LOL!

Man, I'll tell you Frank, you guys hit every single design detail 100%. I visited the booth several times and each time I found a subtle mod that I didn't see before. Frikken schweet! Or as we say in MA....wickid pissah!
