Default My car...dressed in drag

Edit: Added more pics.

Recently installed a set of Strange SA fronts, along with a set of draglites and MT ET/Street 27/10.50s.

Well I was hoping to be able to make a post about a new personal best...but my track day finally arrived, and it rained all day

So now this thread is just to show off the car's new look

Before anyone asks I left the car in the garage for the pic because of the rain.

Thanks guys

It's lookin like I may have to wait till spring to grab that new PB afterall, because it's suppose to snow tonight. If it does, there's pretty much no chance that the local track will do another Friday night or Sunday TNT. Damn. I'm sooo ready to be faster than 11.80s

Na, I decided to just do the cam swap b4 going back to the track. Gives me at least a chance of making it down the 1/4 b4 they shut down for the year.
