No I'd like to but I just thought it was a nice picture spot since the headquarters was only like 5 blocks away from my parent's house. I'm going to place an application as soon as I know of an opening

Nice ROM from a fellow owner. This color is more maroon/pink than SOM.
Get some direct sunlight on it, oh baby......

Its had rims for a few months already, I just never came back to this thread to post the updated pics











Then this happened to it








This is it as of Monday, it should be painted by now, it should be color sanded and buffed by the end of the week, and in my hands by next Monday







I just picked these up yesterday


Next in order is a full exhaust with Pacesetters, x-pipe and Magnaflows

I actually returned those seats, they look nice on display but when i opened the box and felt the material I returned them immediately. The vinyl was paper thin and felt real rubbery. My painter knows a guy that did upholstery for a limo conversion company for like 30 years and says his work is top notch. I'll probably give him a call come Feb. when I get my income tax check.

BTW - I should get my car back tomorrow, I don't think I've ever been this excited! I took some pics of it when it first came out of the booth, and as of yesterday he was color sanding the whole thing!

Car looks great!

Sorry about the damage, that must have made you sick.

I know how you feel, someone did that to my Grand Cherokee last summer. I was so mad I could barely see straight.
