Are we starting a new trend, where we photograph our wheels with a Hong Kong banknote? I can do that.

I don't really get what you are trying to get at?

But sure, if you say so.

I can't stop what you want to do.

I didn't mean any disrespect. My wife is from HK and I recognized your banknote. I was just curious why you laid one on your wheel and photographed it.

Awesome! Another LiB/W MCS! Doesn't seem to be a very popular combo

You picked yours up the same day mine got loaded on the boat. Hopefully mine will be here soon so I can post some pics

Rockridge, if you post any bigger, you should have an "It's Actual Size" sticker on it.

Nice ride, love the wheels. BTW, looks like you've lowered it. What's the setup you're using?

Those driving lights are awesome! They disappear into the grill a bit more and look fantastic! I'll second the question about how it was done!?

If I ever doubt my color choice, it's when I see a PW with black shoes. Nice, Japper. And congrats on the Stage 1. I'm still waiting for mine.

Jeez, awesome color combo! Love the black JCW 18's on the PW/B!!!


So what's the word on the stage 1 kit? I haven't really read many reviews on it yet!
