That front bumper looks really good.. IMO I would remove that blackbyrd badge, sticks out like a sore thumb.. and I'm not a fan of those wheels - get some black centers with polished lip... otherwise car looks good.

hhahaa yeah i suck, we moved year before last and she got stored for a year. I have had her home for about 8 months trying to get her back up and running correctly after she sat for about 2 years. She has had a lot of problems from setting so long. Clutchfluid broke down, fuel pump blew the internal line off, fouled the plugs, and of course a dead battery.

slowly but surely, I did post a pic of the new wheels though. Hopefully later this summer ill have some time to go drive her. I put some sound deadner in over christmas and still havnt got to drive it to see how much it helped
