I was certainly skeptical on the billet/brushed wheels, actually pretty much thought i would not like them. However i have to say now they work really well with the car and the white striping. Has the 'classic' look while still not looking dated. Great looking car.
I think it all comes down to color. Both car color, and stripe color. Ford Performance Blue looks absolutely amazing with brushed aluminum wheels, especially with the white stripes. I’m glad I stuck to my guns on the wheels, hands down the best looking combination for sure

Everything works together and the wheels really pull it together. It wouldn't be the same at all with black wheels.

My favorite widebody by a long shot.
It’s very easy for me to say I agree with you because it was my vision, but it’s nice to hear others feel the same way. Thank you.

Jamie, is Ben doing the PPF in Vegas? Or is he flying out to Vegas to inspect the car with you, then flying back to MA to do the PPF once car is delivered?

He’s flying out to inspect the car with me. Once I have the car home, he’s flying out to install the film. The entire process is going to be filmed for a video he is making. Taking delivery at Shelby all the way to the finished DPF and ceramic.

Thanks buddy, I will be sure to grab as many pictures as I can!

Well you know he ain't sleeping KB. 😆
You have no idea! This has been an unreal experience, and I am exhausted. Only I can't sleep , haha.

Yes indeed. Ben will be doing all the overlay installs as well. I did pick up both wing decals :rockon:

Being a resident of MA I can only hope to see this beauty out in the wild one day. Any plans of attending a cars and coffee or similar events? I’d definitely make it a point of going to catch a glimpse and say hello.

Absolutely. I frequent the Bass Pro show in Foxboro, if you are anywhere near this area. If not, shoot me a PM sometime and we can see if there is anything mutually available.

Well good news is I am up and starting my journey to Vegas! My sales guy at SA is picking us up at the airport and bringing us straight to Shelby, so no time will be waisted :rockon:
