Default New pics of the 'Bird

Well I hadn't really taken any new pics with the new wheels or since it's been running again, so I decided to get some real quick yesterday. I'll get some interior pics and engine bay pics here soon.

Whatcha think?

Every once in awhile I do when pulling into parking lots and such. But it's been on there awhile so you learn how to take the right approach LOL

Haha yea I know exactly what you mean.

I had a 1996 RS with the factory gfx before my SS and it sat just as low as your car. After a while you get used to it and automatically take the turns so you dont scrape.

Actually it use to be my daily driver up until about 1 1/2 years ago. Of that time, it was down for 1 year. I haven't put many miles on it in the other 1/2 year because of having a son and daily driving my Durango now

car looks great, but I would be nervous with that front clip on there. I have to over speedbumps at angles in my lowered T/A, can't imagine how you do it.

Love those chrome Rebels on the car, since your car is pretty much blacked out, did you consider some black Rebels?

IMO the chrome wheels set the car off make it stand out. Although im not too big of a fan of the stealth look. Depends on OP's opinion really

I had thought about it, but wanted to set it off some with everything else being blacked out.
