For some reason, I've always liked the formula rear bumper too, dunno why. Just alittle cleaner i guess. Car looks killer man, wheels set it off great!

I appreciate it man. It definitely has been a lot of work. This morning I woke up early drove back to the house I live in in Charlotte to get the car and came back up to my parents house (1.5 hours round trip) because it was such a beautiful day. My grandpa commented today that I must have paid someone a good chunk of money to build a car like that, I responded with yea...I charge a lot. haha. There are countless hours/days in this car. It's shaping up to be what I've wanted since I was a kid.

The windshield isn't really too dark. I think it's 35% or 30%. Usually when I drive around I at least have the windows cracked so it lets light in. Not to mention I have a white interior which gives an illusion that it's not as dark. At night it isn't too bad, the stock headlights BLOW. I have aimed the lights down and run with my brights most of the time. I will be putting in HIDs this winter though.

Yea in the county I live in we have inspections, you just gotta know people lol. I honestly don't drive the car but MAYBE 5,000 miles a year now, IF that.
