after-

didnt want to go too flashy with the wheels huh? Car looks really clean though man, i dig it! If i had a formy, i probably wouldnt go with just a ws6 hood though, probably like a ws9 hood or a firehawk hood.

i was gonna go with a WS.9 hood but i kinda stumbled onto an OEM hood and couldnt pass it up. i went this way cause i love the look of Ws.6 Formulas and since there was only 7 hardtop ws.6 1le formulas made, i wanted it to look like them.

thanx for the compliment...
