totally worth it. Was thinking of picking up one of those sets that dude in SoCal is stocking up but it seems like that thread was going in circles. Patience isn't one of my virtues when modding is involved.

Thanks bud. I don't plan on putting any gold on my car. I personally feel that the wheels don't really need any accent pieces and are meant to stand out alone. At least these ones. Yea, there's an endless amount of color variations you can choose for your gold setup. I was thinking of doing rose gold, but wasn't really feeling that.

Thanks again tho. Here's one of the many photos that as taken of my 5 at yesterday's Wekfest San Francisco autoshow. Check out link to the thread below if you want to see more pics.

Car looks great at the show, did you win anything?

Also, wondering if you're thinking of doing the dash as well with the suede. That's what I'm thinking for mine, pretty much from the window to the top of the inlays.

I personally didn't win anything, but our team that showed (Speed Element) Won first place Vendor and First place Crew. Getting a spot in Wekfest is pretty tough, but Manu Gill, the owner of the Aristo Collection and O2Forged wheels had a decent amount of brass on his collar and was had all of us showcase teasers of his lineup. That ultra widebody M3, Black Ferrari and Jamie Liu's C63 and FRS were all rocking the Aristo lineup and I was rocking the 02Forged. They all took award home. Jamie rolls with Ranz and is a member of Heavy Hitters crew so she took best overall with one of her rides. (yea, she brought like 4 cars. LOL)

To answer your question regarding the dash. I'm not really sure. At the end of the day it will depend on cost and benefit. I'm going to start off with the seats and door panels. If I absolutely can't live without a redone dash I might consider it. Im pretty sure I'm going to get rid of my crappy wrap job I did on my interior pieces tho and replace them with legit CF or something custom wrapped in another material.

I know this is essentially the same shot, but here's another one for Jtjr0313. This showcases a lil bit more of the small details I'm keeping to compliment the gold wheels. As you can see, I had Simon color the back of the projector shroud/ lens in an orange to give it a little bit more of a flare. (wasn't really feeling a straight red that a lot of people are doing). Also, I purposely kept the eyebrow amber as well)
