looks good. cant really tell from the pics, but it looks like you got rid of the "pontiac" on the headlight and the antenna. if so, good job! makes the car look cleaner. its the little things that count.


gotta remember not to take pictures of a black car when the suns at its highest. wait till its going down

After you have time to wash it, put some new pics up (like said above, black cars love pics around dusk)

on the headlight, i think he cut out the 'pontiac' its raised in the steel, and just filled it with sheetmetal. and in the rear bumper, he had some hi tech filler he said would be able to flex and not pop out. Im in a good situation, he's my girlfriends dad, so anything i need i just go there! also the previous owner bottomed out the exhaust and had a big crack in the rear bumper right above the tip...had that fixed!

only thing i left was the WS6 emblem...figured its an original WS6..why not...
