I'm not a fan at all. The wheels look terrible.

Its not that bad nor is it that great. Maybe because of the color? Overall, props for doing it.

That's a solid execution.

To each his own, I'd rock the hell outta that! Perhaps not in orange especially, but I someone handed me the keys I wouldn't say no...

To those speculating and chriping about gaps and proportions - who cares how the windows close? If I built this SHOW CAR I wouldve removed the windows altogether...
