I spent money on APPEARANCE?
If you visit my site, you will see that I'm waaaaay out of balance when it comes to performance vs appearance modifications. So, I recently picked up a factory WS6 hood for the Formula. I've always wanted a WS6 Formula, but now I just have a faster one that looks just as good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I'm not done yet! Bogart 17" road racing wheels and a custom paintjob coming soon! I'm thinking Grand Sport blue....

Nice Tony. That stock hood is just a bit too plain.. Like the Z28 hood, but better. <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Your car is awesome! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Do you know why show cars win most races?
The main difference between a show car and a true track car is most show cars
look faster
That is how we disguise ourselves so the competition never race us...we look sooo fast sitting still. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />
Pulling those front wheels must be an awesome feeling, very sweet! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: I spent money on APPEARANCE?
Pulling the front wheels on the launch, man there just isn't a cooler feeling with these cars! A 1.4X 60' time in a 6-speed is just awesome to feel, so violent!
Vince, I'm thinking Bogart RR10 racing wheels. I've got some pics of them on a black SS. DROOL!
Negative on the white stripe, I just like the blue color and want something a bit different from NBM. I love the NBM, but its too common now.

Tony...looking good! I saw a Mustang LX painted GS blue at Norwalk. It looked really nice. I concur with your choice 100%. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: I spent money on APPEARANCE?
99Tran, I had it easy. I bought the hood used from a local guy that had a navy blue Trans Am. No painting or assembly required <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: I spent money on APPEARANCE?
Hate to be the one to break it to ya, but the blue on Grand Sports isn't called Grand Sport blue, it's Admiral Blue <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: I spent money on APPEARANCE?
Very nice. I like the hood with that rear spoiler.
I've never been a fan of the big honkin' WS6 wing.
The color is going to be schweeet!!

Tony- you should just paint your car electron blue like the Horsepower store's Formula. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
