Their still rotas but I think they look 100x better for some reason .. Wheels and the C pillar bar are the only thing I like on the entire car for some reason .

I find GT3s actually look good once painted one color.

Racing harnesses with stock seats? That's just asking for some serious injury in the event of a rollover.

stock seat is the least of the problem, the mounting angle is a POS and asking for neck breakage

not feeling the blue wheels, one day, you will grow out of the boy racer thing, one day

If you roll over and get crushed in a stock car with shoulder belts, the roof will collapse and you can avoid death by going forward or sideways. This setup, with a 4 point harness, would cause the driver to stay straight up and his head would get squashed unless there was a roll cage. I get your point, this is just an unsafe setup overall in many ways

Wheels look alright. Maybe if the car was really low, it might look better to me.

Harness bar or perhaps roll bar coming ... racing seats coming ... thanks for the comments but if you're just here to flame then gtfo, I'm sure you can find something more productive to do with your time than useless retarded criticism. I like it the way I have it right now soooooo just cuz a couple elitist honda kids don't "approve", doesn't make me wanna cry myself to sleep.

Other comments tho: thanks ... just trying out something different for now.
