The wheels on the coupe are AZA Z-02's and really arent that expensive. 18x8 up front and 18x10 out back. Can get a set of 4 shipped to my door for $675 through Wheelmax. I have coil overs front and rear so I can set the ride height and stance of the car to pretty much anything I want.

My second choice wheels are these. I wrote the name down,.. they are either TSW or I-forge. They are a little more expensive but not like CCW expensive. I can still get 4 of them in the size I want for under $1000 shipped to my door.

I hate the hood on that car. I tried to convert it to a regular cowl hood the best I could and then turn the color as close to the tone of orange as I could.


.

I had the same issue with this car. Finding good images to work with is difficult. For some reason some cars convert color very well,.. others dont at all.

This was the original image.



.

Then putting black on the molding and hood was easy.


.

But trying to get a shiney metallic orange out of that blue was next to impossible.


.

Picture the car above,.. in the color of this Saleen, with the wheels from either the coupe or the blue hatch above. Not the one with the Weld Draglites.


And that is the look I'm going after with my car.

As for road racing,.. that will be all my wife. I suck at it. She can drive circles around me. She will be running the car at Sebring and up in Ga at Road Atlanta. She has her solo license as well. If I do it I'd have to have an instructor in the car with me. I have just as much fun watching my wife rip up the track,.. and with her being as good as she is its fun to brag when she pulls faster lap times compared to some of the other drivers. My wife is only 5'1, 115lbs. With the tubular k-member, suspension and other weight reduction I should be able to get the car down to about 2950 - 3000lb curb weight even with the 351 in there. With her in the car it will be easier then with my fat 6'1 300lb lard ass in there.
