Default The Formula in all its glory!

I blacked out the side markers and it made a HUGE difference. Enjoy!
Before:



Now:













Here is just a quick reflection shot. What you see is dust and dirt from just one day after being washed. Not too shabby for an almost 10 yr old car.

Yea, I know I need new wheels. Im getting some Speedlines soon.

As for the ladder, I couldnt get it right under the car. There was a huge tree limb (from the ice and wind storm) that if I would of pulled forward some it would of been in the frame. Trust me I wanted to get it right but the limb was about 600 lbs.

I did use VHT. I turned out REALLY well. I also use the rear Camaro marker lights because they are red instead of the yellow ones on our front. They are the exact same except for the color. I did that so that the markers would be the same color at night.

Yes, it needs wheels. I know this. Thats why I stated Im getting some.

Mystic, your car is amazing. I love that color. I only wish I could find a Formula that was a semi-rare color instead of black.
