Thanks for the support, guys!

As far as appearance mods go, I'm still trying to decide if I want some black halos to replace the stock headlights, and I'm lightly considering painting the back panel black.

By the way, the front fascia is by Xenon. The grille was just one I found on eBay.

My last name is Kong, which is why I got that license plate. There's a protein bar on the market called the Kong Bar, with the slogan "Get Big, Get Strong, Get KONG." Now that I think about it, I think I would have rather just gotten "HUNGRY" or something.

Yeah, I ordered them before the movie came out, and realized that when a friend told me everyone would think I was a huge fan of the movie or something.

Looking good. What size are those tires? I didn't know they made the BFG KDW in a size that fit a 9.5 rim.

Awesome Ride! I definitely like the After better!

Go with the black halos and the black rear panel. Your car would tie in better with the color scheme and look mean!
