OMG, that looks uber cool. If I did not have my Italia, I'd get that combo
for sure.

Love it, absolutely love it. The whitewalls really add to the look.

Wow, that's nice. I typically don't adore red vehicles, but I've love this red. I also don't usually go for white upholstery, but it looks so...cherry here (pardon the terrible pun).

So sweet. Put some chrome on it and it'll be just that much sweeter.

That is too cool for words. Are you selling these or is that yours?

The whitewalls run about $35 or less per tire (you can look them up online; they're made by Shinko). Plus, add in labor for at least the tire replacement (not a good DIY project!) and whatever else...

God I LOOOOVE those whitewalls. This kinda reminds me of the "Cars" movie where the racecar gets done over all 60's style Corvette.

We are now stocking all of the Buddy swap parts (Grips, Mats, Seats) in all of the colors so you can order them a-la carte.

We went with the Continental whitewall tires for this customer because she's a big spender.

We're doing this as a custom Cherry Bomb logo for her.

I think the panel swaps are becoming so popular that a lot of dealers are stocking or ordering extra panels. A lot, I know, are ordering Buddies from Genuine this way (or requesting extra panels when the scoots ship). I hope there's a good supply of panels in a warehouse somewhere...
