Nice pics.. Question though.. Something looks different.. On the back end pic.. Is that a firebird/formula rear bumper with a lip or am I just tripping?

Looks great! I do love that W68 ground kit although I am a bit biased

I think you should get some darker tint. It will complete the black top look you have going on. The only other recommendations would be !molding and some blackbird stripes. Looks great even as is!

What kind of tire shine do you use?

Not a fan of the wheels really, but the car is CLEAN. Looks good, and I love the black sail panel.

Was it you or tmc2k1 that did the ls1 swap? You both have nice cars that have come a long way.

Wheel and tire combo look good. I have the same wheels except I went with 315/30 toyo r888s!

Looks good, needs a drop though. I love those rims, they're probably the ones I will eventually get.

As for the haters, **** 'em.

I really like it, clean and simple. I would put those black stripes on the ws6 hood, you know, the ones on the sides of the hood scoops.



Like these but in black and minus the cheesy "hp" sticker.

Clean *** car man. I've had mine since I was 18 and I'm now 24. You only get more and more **** about **** as you get older, IMO.
