Thanks, the new drag radials in the back gave it a beefy look.

Yeah but there not the speedlines, older model wheels. Sold the speedlines, and then the chromes i got trade in on them...made enough to buy my m/t drag radials haha.

I just wanted to keep it plain..and not be flashy...just dark...and hopefully quick.

I wanna run get as close to a 7.5 in the 1/8th miles as cheap as possible. Right now I barely have 5k in the whole car plus bolt ons and prolly even gas I've put in it haha.

It is the stock hood, if you can see in the first pic it still had the ram air on it, and the clear coat was peeling...we resprayed the hood..the car looks good for a 4k car..and a real ws6...could use a good buffing and polishing though.

Swap it with a CETA WS6 badge, they're black instead of red.
