Looks great! Not to steal your look, but I've been looking for the manta like yours and I've found a few sites with them, but where did you order yours from? I want to make sure I order a quality vinyl like yours. Thanks!

First I got medium grade steel wool to get the polish off the spokes then cleaned the spokes with laquar thinner and masked off the whole wheel then sprayed adhesion promoter, then self etching primer, sanded with 400 grit then painted the color I wanted and finally put a couple coats of clear and done.

wow car looks awesome.

I must say, there really isn't anything more intimidating than seeing an LS1, with a big FMIC.

The grill is from after thoughts auto

Turbo setup was single 60mm garret all stock car except valve springs and clutch for 10lbs of boost
Turbo lag wasn't that bad made custom 2 1/2" exhaust from manifold to turbo and ehaust wrapped.

The grill in the first picture, did you cut that yourself? How did you do it? It looks really nice.
