New rims for the Dad-mobile

[Sean88gt]

Hmmm...personal choice I suppose, but I prefer the stock wheels.

I have 20s on my g35s, and I loathe them.

[Darren M]

The stockers are 20s....

[Darren M]

Oh, and the stockers are for sale.... no tires.

Did a thing this weekend. Some will like it, some wont. I like it.

[Sgt Beavis]

Heat Extractor? Is that functional?

[Darren M]

Absolutley!

[BLAKE]

That looks pretty tough. Post more/better pics.

[Darren M]

Thanks! Will get a few bwtter tomorrow.

[Sgt Beavis]

I like it. It takes away from the sleeper qualities of the SHO but it integrates rather well on the hood. It looks OEM.

[Darren M]

Thank you! Thats the best compliment I could get. There's a few things I'd do differently and a couple of tweaks yet to be done. The artist is often their harshest critic.

To do' s (mostly under the hood)

Paint aluminum mounting bar stock, black
Cut hood blanket to fit and reinstall
Remove soft weather stripping and replace with double sided tape

Optional: Fabricate rain drip pan and install. (Car washes are going to be a pain!)

[War Machine]

I like the old wheels better

[Darren M]

They have a certain attraction. Just not unique enough for me they're for sale.... lol

[BLAKE]

I much prefer the new wheels.

For rain and car washes, I would fabricate something like this:

Make it with a foam or rubber lip that mates up to the flange of the vent and some spring loaded J-hooks that you can hook through the holes in the vent. Should be cheap and fun.

[Darren M]

I hadn't thought of that Blake! The unit does have a drip pan but it's like $180! I've seen that cover and hadn't thought of it.

Just watched the video. Cheap ABS plastic, heat gun, modified dzus fasteners, and some weather stripping, genius.
