very nice , i thought it looked like ssg . How did the paint come out on it , full car or what . But very unique and cool looking . That car begs for a certain type of rim and i cant put my finger on it . It needs 18s for sure or 19 , no tts or zr1s .

Maybe some hp evos black spokes with a ssg lip ?

There's currently a meet every Monday night in Irving. It's a meet for any and all kinds of cars and bikes, but it's free and there are quite a few F-Bodies that show up. I'll PM you with the details.
