Just a few quick cellphone pics. I've had them for a while but haven't taken any pics of the car. It's actually pretty dirty right now. They're Velgen Classic5's powder coated a custom dark copper. They were done by Paul at PK Auto Design. We went through a few different variations until we got them right where I wanted them. I also had Anarchy Motive do a matching shift knob as well. Let me know what you think!

Sweet! I'll likely taken some photos of my car this weekend. I won a set of Velgen wheels, but went through hell getting tires mounted.

I probably would have went with a lighter shade myself, but because it's black it actually looks OK and can get away with it. I mean that with all the respect in the world, by the way. Maybe paint the "." in "5.0" the same shade? Just a little something to help bring it together.

Also, didn't you have/don't you have a Cobra Jet?

Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback, positive or negative.

They do change color/shade depending on the light. I wanted them darker and more on the orange side of copper because I didn't want them to look gold in the sun. The coater ended up getting them exactly how I wanted them. Good call on the emblems. I actually have some custom emblems in that color but I probably won't put them on as I don't plan on having the car much longer.

A Cobra Jet car? No, but I do have a Cobra Jet intake set up on this car. 8K rpm shifts are fun.

I keep coming back to this thread. But the wheels just aren't growing on me. I miss your old stripe setup honestly.

I loved my Grabber Blue stripes! I still have the matte center stripes on the car. I had considered doing pinstripes to match the wheels but I decided against it.

So what will replace this car?
