I'm not a fan of red but your **** looks real good dude. Paint the hood gloss black, get a 8" shorty antenna and you are straight.

nope, i sold the hood and bought the WSQ...

I was thinking about going with a white interior instead of red... I can get another set of seats that are tore up pretty cheap and recover them like i did these... What do you guys think.. White on Red? I just dont know about keeping white clean and nice... my seats now have red tshirts over them now just to keep **** off of them..

Please If you are going to change the color do not do silver. Silver is the most boring color IMO and the red looks great

Leave the red seats, looks amazing imo.

You need to hide those wires on the passenger side wheel well, would clean the engine bay up so much. Takes ab 15 mins.

You literally can do those on that side in under 15mins and it really helps. You can also hide the hood latch wire in a few mins. Another easy quick one is moving some of the grounds where they cant be seen.

You ould do all that in about an hour and It woupd really help.

Fast and furious. It was In #4 or #5. He asks the chick what tickets the guy has and one of them was "illegal mods".
Can't remember exactly how it went but It cracked me up pretty good.

Those movies are comedies. It is actually painful for me to watch one. I had to put #4 in on 5 different occasions to finish it. I can watch about 30 minutes at a time.

Personally I would have went with red insert in the seats. But it still looks good to me. Red is the the best color for these cars IMO.

Im kind of surprised the red has gone over as well as it has.. I like it a lot, but I figured it would get 50/50 love it hate it comments.. I know its a lot of red but a full custom set was $800 to start and I had to install it. I would probably give a white interior a try if anyone wants to swap.. I may buy a set and recover them anyways. I can get them and have about $450 in the whole set.

If you can have 450 in the whole set, I would do it.

You could easily sell them for almost double that I would bet.
