Congrats and welcome to the flock! Although that pewter WS6 makes it seem like this isn't your first bird...

My bro had exact same car until it got stolen about a month ago while sitting outside the shop. He parks his car outside for 2 nights next to mine that has been sitting out for a year in the same spot and his gets stolen. Kid who stole it dropped his wallet and they found the car but it was to late the car was already stripped. So you know have an even more rare car take care of it.

On a side note It must suck to be required to have a front license plate they take away alot of the what the T/As have to offer front end wise.

Alright, my dad (1st ta), my brother (SchaefZ28), and I are in FAST, you should join if you aren't a member.

www.fastlouis.com

and here are some pics after a wash










And yeah I know I need a T/A hatch, that and clear corners are the only thing I want to change cosmetically unless some 97 firehawk wheels just happen to fall into my lap haha. Below is what I want, but I can definitely make do with my formy!

nothing says "i'm a stupid criminal" like dropping your wallet and ID at the scene of the crime.
