Wow! Thanks! Really appreciate the nice comments.

Let's see. The wheels were a crap shoot. Hadn't seen a set of 748's on the car. Didn't want the polished lip thing. Had that on my Range Rover. So we ended up powder coating and gloss because I figured they would be dirty most of the time so it would look less like a black hole and have a little shine. I think it worked out ok. Took the car down to the HRE open house. They may have some better shots of the wheels than I. I will try to add some close-ups to the original post. I believe the lip on the rear is 5".

Lucent really pushed me to do the color match paint on the grills...they were right....the Eisenmann exhaust looks and sounds great. I like the oval tips.

Thinking about programming, some pedals and then - driving the damn thing - isn't that why we buy these cars? Hahahaha.....
