Default Snapped a few pics, whatchya think?

It was an awesome day today so I went for a cruise up on the Parkway and took the camera with me.
I think the pics came out pretty good but the car could use a good washing. Let me know what ya think.


Here's my big *** getting out of the way...

They're 18" VSR wheels, the last owner put them on and he didn't say which VSR rims they were exactly. I tried to look them up but couldn't find any wheels on VSR's site that matched these.

Great back drop and car looks really good. Im usually not a fan of rivets, but those wheels and your car really pull them off!!!

def a sweet back drop. Car looks good...im not sure if its lack of tire shine or acrual sidewall that makes the wheel and especially the tire combo look so big. Ill say the obvious and would go with smoked corner lenses, a new grill, !sidemolding, and some lowering springs

Thanks for the comments guys! I wish I could take the credit for that burnout but I don't have a the stones to light 'em up on the parkway and then hang around. I did leave a little rubber when I left though

Soon as I get the money I'm gonna look into Sam's springs and a Koni setup, tint the windows, do something with the corners and polish the headlights.
