Those might be the highest optioned SO3s I ever sold. Brushed Nickel outers, pinstripe, powder coated caps, AWESOME!

Yeah I went a little overboard didn't I? They'll match the car perfectly though...whenever I get it done.

The bumpers are going to be brushed nickel. To get it on the road I may just paint them a nickel color for now, depending on how much getting them nickel plated will be. I was probably going to do the trim black. My emblems are going to be nickel and red. My calipers are going to be red or black...still have to decide. Probably red though.

Nice...well thought out flowing theme.
Paint the bumpers and save yourself the expense and grief of plating,you can tint the color until you're completely happy with it and if done right,I dig the painted bumper look...:yum:
Calipers I'd do red too,make them pop and add some spice to your wheel.
Excellent project,I like your style...certainly subscribing...:twothumbs

My tires showed up on Thursday. The wheels won't be here till next Thursday. I still have to mini tub the car and paint it black. It should take me about another month to get it done. I'll post pics when I get the tires mounted. Can't wait!

They're typically a little cheaper than autometer. I've been seriously considering their 2020 line of gauges.http://www.newvintageusa.com/

If you compare them to Auto Meter's cobalt series (full sweep, electric) they are quite a bit cheaper. New Vintage just came out with the redline series. Perfect timing too. Mark is a very nice guy and was a pleasure to do business with.
