Definitely. Different kind of purdy though!

I'll be making a couple of uncharacteristic (for me) concessions to appearance over ultimate efficiency with this car.

Topher: thanks for the wheel disc attachment ideas. Someone at GGP just velcroed a set on his Insight alloys and said they've been fine - did you see that? It was the hybrid battery rebuilder guy.

I wouldn't go the velcro route though... since there's velcro left behind when the discs are off.
