Really clean TA man.Where part of the country?..

Almost a shame your going to TDs,the Magnaflow tips look pretty nice on there,go well with the chrome wheels.Of course you could go over the axle TDs...

Nice Cobra also!

thanks guys....the cobra is my best friend's ride. i was sick of having nothing close to him so i got this. shouldnt be too hard to get in the mid 12s. once he gets his pulley on i'll be screwed though. lol. my plans right now are just for a fast DD....when i graduate college in 2 years im gonna buy a built 402 for it. oh yea....i love the tips of the magnaflow also. i was thinking about going over/under the axle TDs (undecided yet as to which).....and getting the corsa tips....i love those things. especially with the CETA rear bumper...*drool*.

Welcome. Sweet, clean ride there! If I would have gone the Poncho route (instead of bowtie), my Formie, or TA WS6 would have been silver also, I really love them in that color! The Magnaflow tips DO look great on there. I would try and find a way to keep them even with over/under axle TDs!!
