Default Thunder V1 Pics
Here's a couple pics I took of my dirty V1 some guys said they wanted to see more pics. I tried to take the pics at differant angles to show how the chromaflair in the paint flips. hyper black rims.

Looks great.

Two suggestions though:
1. Lower that pig.
2. Make sure you replace that missing lower fascia below the radiator before you do any high speeds.

It didn't have it when I got it where can I get one? Is the hood going to fly off?

I'd have to do some digging to find that part, but from what I've read the hood starts to "billow" at a certain speed.

I'm scared to lower it, I don't want to bottom out on speed bumps.

The issue I had was with that piece missing the inner fender blew out at 150ish. Probably because they all hook in together at the front of the fender liner.
