Just my opinion but I think if you chopped the tailpipes at the same angle as the bumper it would look cleaner

Swagon, do you by chance have the part number of your shifter with that offset? Also are you using a GTO rear offset or is it fbody?

Very, very nice.

What's this 'coffee and cars'? I'm not far from Richmond, and I like coffee. And cars.

Every other Saturday, there is a massive group of auto enthusiasts that get together in front of Boychicks deli. Some amazing cars show up. Usually about 150 or so. I won't be going back until my new house is finished being built. Probably early February.

Nothing else to update here but I wanted to post these before and after shots.

Scored extended leather bits from an M5 to replace my plastic/vinyl stuff. Everything you see is leather.
