Thumbs up Gold on Red

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to give you a sneak photo shop peek at our plans for the vehicle. We will not be using the Volks you see in the photo, we just wanted to test what a gold wheel with polished lip will look like on the 8. Looks good to me so we are going to order some new wheels and toss the Axis Hiros. Update for the website, we will have the TEIN hood damper install up soon, we added them a while back but have been busy with shooting models for the site.
Let me know if you like the gold wheel setup on red.

I prefer gunmetal, but gold would be my second choice.

I forgot to add that we did a quick photoshop, and the gold tsunami logo is photshopped too. So when we do go with gold wheels we will be changing up the graphic and the Tsunami logo will not be in the same place anymore. Well, gotta go design that Tsunami gauge pod so see you guys in a bit.

If you add more gold accent to the car like you did with the Tusnami logo it helps a lot but like most have already said I prefer the gunmetal or silver rims with or with out a polished lip. Just curious what you are doing with the Hiros and even the red lugnuts. I know you were able to help Snowfl8k out with her Tusnami front and it looks great possibly, maybe you could help me out too?

Can't wait for the new photo shoot! keep is up to date...I imagine the stereo is almost done of not complete?

Was going to install the wheels / tires this weekend. Guess what? The rear tires keep loosing pressure (brand new)!! After a visit to a local tire shop and found out the rear tires were toasted by the installer. They ripped the inner trim on both tires while put them on, so they just keep loosing air from the side.

Now I got something to do tomorrow!

P.S. Thank god I double check the tire pressure before I put them on.
