Looks like Stryker has some real competition. Everyone says he's so hard to get a hold of so maybe you can step in!

That looks so badass..I usually don't like flames either but I love the way that looks. I think it would look killer with an SLP grille with a blue outline on the SS.

crazy idea here... but with those flames, i think the anodized blue rims of a 99 anniversary T/A (replace the center cap) would look pretty badass. who knows.
