Fender Flares ... BIGGER!

[adidas_kn]

Looking good but it's about time for some some custom offset rims or some 20mm volvo 5x108 adapter spacers. I like your current wheels but they sit way too far in. If I can find the link to the volvo spacers I will post it. Really nice pieces made to adapt newer higher offset(+40mm) volvo wheels to older lower offset volvo cars(+20mm). They have the small wheel nuts and the spacers with the mini studs to make the best of regular wheel hubs.

Keep it up! Also do something else to the exterior it is nice with the fender flares but it is also bland in that it is very over monotone. Don't get me wrong your car is awesome but throw on some more polished parts or contrasting colors to set it off. Tint the tails with some good lens tint then wet sand em' and clear em'. A carbon fiber hood in regular finish with clear and possibly CF trunk and some new headlights from a sable or straight from ford will brighten that mean machine right up. Also look into some window tint. Not Limo tint but some nice 30% would be nice.
Dude your interior is off the Chain! Everything about it rulez. I gotta give you props on pulling your dash and doing the full interior swap. Str8 up awesome. Can't wait to see what you have planned for the stereo system. Wait to you see my car when its' all buttoned up. One step at a time right?

I did do a search on those too looks like it would be nice for the look of the car with the spacers. I habeen looking into Cf hood and trunk. Not sure if we will be seeing a CF trunk in production or not. I guess we are all waiting on Toolmans people to come thru with the hood.

Ill post some more pictures soon maybe even video too.

New Update ... Seats Installed.

I finally got around installing the seats. I used the brackets off of the original seats to avoid alot of fabrication. I really couldnt use the driver side one because its a power seat, so i only used the mounting points of it. I used these to attach them to the universal brackets on the seats. So the seats are able to slide back and forth.

Here is the final result...

Here is some nice shots of the car ...

Amazing Work Buddy! Def. Magazine Material,

[Tommy's SHO]

Wow, very impressive car, you should definetly put that car in a magazine.
Good job.

I just noticed that the passenger side fender is not aligned with the hood. Is it the angle of the shot?

 

[SableSal]

This has to be the most expensive SHO ever!

It's Done!!!

 

[Shoaz]

Amazing. Kudos for really doing things nicely.

Definitely get some mag coverage on that dude while it's still fresh.

Would look even better with wider taller tire.

 

[Camarok]

Lets just hope for some reason you don't like orange any more, because that would royally kick you in the butt


I love the matched interior!

well i am doing a color swap in April of '06 and im going to do either that color copper metallic or a midnight blue...havent decided yet but with how ur SHO looks ur pushin me towards copper! looks amazing!

What an outstanding accomplishment!!!

The seats look fabulous.

What style are the Momo's and what's the height of the backrest?

The reason I'm asking is that I have Corbeau CR1 iseats n my car, and the backrest is about 2" too short for me height. IOW, the top of the backrest touches about 2" below the center of the back of my head, and therefore I'm starting to look around for seats that are taller in the back.

The backrest of the CR1 is 35" tall. Dimensions can be found here:

your commitment to detail is amazing.I think you have done a terrific job .where did you get the gas cap ? that is a mod I have been looking to do also

 

[morpho18]

i love the outcome of your SHO! the only thing that sticks out is the headlights...wasn't there a guy building custom HID headlights or something? you should consider something like that!

I wanted a copper color too from the konissegg car. I even contacted them but they said they wouldnt share the color info because it was a custom color made for them.

Thanks! Im not sure what size they are and i havent gotten around to measuring them. I will tell you that i am 6' 7" tall and the back rest is high enough where i can lean back and have my head supported by the head rest.

I went to Corbeau site and bought the drivers seat bracket. It fits great, all i had to do was make 2 extra holes on the rails to bolt them up to the momo seat. I will have to extend the rail an extra 6 inches since im a little to close to the dash board for my comfort. I wil be ordering passenger bracket soon.

your commitment to detail is amazing.I think you have done a terrific job .where did you get the gas cap ? that is a mod I have been looking to do also

That gas door is off an Audi TT, I looked into buying it at the dealer but it was 400!! Even buying it through the shop i work with was 300. I did not buy it, just to much! Then i came across one on Ebay and got it for 150 shipped!

This gas door is not aluminum. Its made of a combo of materials that makes it very hard. To make it fit properly i had to mod it a bit on the inside part. It took me about an hour and 3 - 36grit pads on a grinder to shave it down about half an inch. The thing heated up a bit but the grinder was not strong enough to even make it spark! Anyway though i should add that tid bit

I will be trying to make it to the SHOCago meet on OCT 2. So if anybody wants to look at the car it will be there!
