Interested to know how the car feels with the solid subframe bushings. Let us know!

Also love the seats, what are they?

Dream build. Keep up the good work

Would love to see what you'd come up with if you felt like having clear headlights & high beam lenses.

thanks guys. PHR really is awesome. very nice people too.

chrome/polish work was done by a shop in houston - atlas plating - they do mostly lowrider and custom truck parts. they are arguably the best in this area of the usa. texas for sure.

solid bushings are going to suck for comfort, but they will help tremendously for putting power down on the ground.

seats are recaro pole position in black leather

i had a set of clear highs, but i was slightly late in trying to order the supermade/bright-x lenses from japan as they ended up being discontinued/out of stock

Kohinoor,

Did you see any of the wheels they have done? I really need to get my CCW's chromed.
I'm only about 45 minutes away from them and it would be a lot easier then sending mine to Cal Chrome in California.

Thanks,

Shane

yep, their chroming (and mirror polishing) is top notch and their pricing is very reasonable. i highly recommend them. just dont underestimate/discount their expertise when you see their hole-in-the-wall shop lol.

if they are multipiece wheels i would take them apart first though if you havent already done that. their outsourced mechanic labor rate is quite high, but understandable as they dont do those kinds of things in house.

if you need them repaired beforehand i highly recommend SABS (super auto body shop) in houston.
