Sean,

It looks GREAT man!!! I knew it'd come back even better than before.

I love everything about it. That new hood is perfect too. VERY nice choices all around.

Thanks everyone.

Ibanez I agree, i LOVE how joe did the shadows in the flames with the black airbrushing or whatever the heck he did, you're right, makes the flames look 3D in alot of places. in person, the flames onto the rear quarters really look like htey are floating off the car, its cool


Chevy/Andy--how much faster has my car gone than yours? oh yeah, that's right, kiss my ***

Sean, I second the grill comment. The grill is the perfect finishing touch for that setup.

Only thing it needs now are some real tires out back. How you gonna hook with those pizza cutters? LOL! J/K!!

Can't wait to see it at the local shows next year. Don't park next to me though, it'll make my car look even more boring than it already does.

yeah wheels are something i need to look at now, I know

the grill i did right before i hit the deer. i had taken the car to Joe and he opened up the whole bumper so the intercooler could get air, and we hid it all with the grill. same thing now..new bumper went on the car but Joe cut it all open, my frount mount is totally exposed behind the grill, and its all sealed to th bumper with an aluminum box I built.
