Default the new look!

Well I traded a guy my Firehawks for his TT2s.

I've had the Firehawks basically since I've had the car, so they've grown on me. I love the new more aggressive look but definately will miss the Firehawks...

Let me know what you think.

Only appearance mods left are Ram Air hood with gunmetal blackbird stripes. I'm going to repaint the mini-ceta gunmetal, and TA or IROC spoiler. Of course also I'm going to be getting 17x11s for the rear and painting them to match.

Last pictures with the Firehawks. (honestly IMO some of the better pictures I've taken)





And the new look.






More pictures coming soon...
