Default took some new pics...

Cleaned up the car today and decided to take some new pics. Pics were taken with a cell phone. I know, i need to get rid of the 4x4 look. Ive got some Strano Springs laying here in the room, just saving up for some Koni 4/4's and then this baby will be lowered.

Let me know what you guys think, likes & dislikes are all welcome. Even opinions on the color for new wheels (Black or Gunmetal?).

Recent appearance mods:
LT1 Taillights
30% Tint on Doors/5% on Rear
VHT Niteshaded Sidemarkers

Tips broke in the middle and rattled together on startup. I decided to just go ahead and dump the exhaust for now. Working on getting a GMMG system and new tips here in the next few months after i get the shocks.

looks good man.. I would powder coat the wheels black if anything. but you shoulda went darker for the side windows. I've been ticketed for having 30% tints, thought I wouldn't because it's soo damn light of a tint...but I did....so now I "go big or go home" lol.
