Out of the Fish Bowl

Got around to tinting the glass.Amazing machine cuts them in seconds.Oh man finally ,,some privacy.Sig pic taken at the tire shop while having Snows mounted on the OEM rims.BTW,the offset on these rims is 48.I was amazed it was that high. Also the front brake lines are reinforced with wire ,,the rears are not.Thats fine because they are both coming off for Steel braided jobbies.
