Lets see if I can remember what I've got.

-18x9/ 18x10 iForged Senekas fully polished w/ 275/35 295/35 pilot sports
-silver vinyl exterior overlays (trans am on doors, rear pontiac, and front firebird plate cover)
-20% tint on upper part of windshield and rear window.


Parts that are uninstalled:
Mecham TA spoiler
Wings West body kit
LG Motorsports coil over suspension setup
30th Anniversary stripe kit (silver)

I plan on using the spoiler and obviously all my suspension parts. As for the stripe kit, and the body kit I'm undecided. I may replace my stock WS6 hood with Roger's WS9 Outlaw hood. Some other exhaust tips, to ditch the ones that came with the hooker CB, and that should be about it for the exterior.

I've got everything MBA sells in the engine bay, and I plan to detail the hell out of that with Hillco fasteners, lots of chrome etc. Interior is all accented in silver/red.

I blacked out my rear filler panel, then put black reflective decals that are replicas of the red ones on the stock cars.

Can I get a close up of where the stock mirror went? Did you just put a plate over it or what? Thanks.
