That paint process for applying the chrome was like watching a magic trick and STILL not being able to figure it out...incredible.

Very neat to see! The glow looks just right with the chrome. Looks insane at night!

Those wheels need a little work, but great concept.

^^^^ i agree the wheels could have gone a little deeper and wider look at the tron bike and cars ,very deep dishes!! also the led looks to me a little ricey on the wheel and front and rear grill. I would have gone with acrylic frosted tubes with the led giving it light , the interior i love it Ismael did a good job on it over all i still love it

I'm sure it's legal everywhere except California. Nothing is legal out there.

I'll wait 'til I see it in person. I have seen a bunch of West Coast customs cars and a lot of them have poor panel fit, tons of orange peel, etc...
They don't seem to have too much attention to detail.
