Good work so far!

One thing though... your avatar is Galvatron, but technically he was born from Megatron when Unicron gave him the new bod and name!
Yes i know but I can't change it for some reason. I'll try and take another pic when it's not so bright outside. The shade is actually darker. Not only that, the swatch ghat I chose from was darker as well. Wonder if it was just a bad mix or what. Oh well, I'm still okay with it.

Default Update 20150703 New Shoes!!!

It's been a min since my last update but Megatron finally got his new kicks! Avant Grande M510 19x8.5 +35 fronts and 19x9.5 +40 rears. I'm thinking about painting my lug nuts but can't decide which color. either black or purple to match my calipers...also thinking about doing some custom center caps.
