thx man, i wouldnt say the cars is lighter, but that is brighter. its the same color green but orig paint was done 3-4 years ago in a single stage paint. the guys at levries didnt think it would look good unless they re-did the entire car in a 3 stage. they didnt want it out on the streets unless it looked right. and again, i thank them for it.

thx man you have a killer ride yourself. your front lp cover is pretty sweet...make me a green one have you ever been stopped for it?

also that hood is really nice. if could have seen both hoods in person, it would have been a tough choice.

I dont drive with it on... I have had a cop knock on my door at 3am asking wtf it was.. we were up partying and he saw us in the window so he stopped.. He was a NRH cop and was cool as hell... haha He thought it was on fire cause it was shining off the garage door so he "investigated"...

I spun a bearing the last night we were out at Fudds... right after we met.. run a Holden on 820 on the way home and spun bearing.. Got a nice LQ9 in my garage for it right now... Some of the local guys that were out with us that night are going to come and were doing a swap party.. haha. Lookin for a cam right now... Plus need to have my new converter restalled...

If your looking at new wheels I would try and find a set of these, they would go awesome with that color, also I would do that CETA mod I see some of these cars have.

The wheels pictured are Boyd Coddington "Possessed".

I'm not much for the front lip myself, i've been looking for or considering a mod either custom made or based off 1 of those lips that removes the center section of the lip so you only get the flare out starting where the stock bumper does its drop down that rolls back in. did this real quick with paint to show what I was talking about.

Funny how you mention that, because I'm about to do just that in the near future for the other owner of the green T/A in the pic. Ernest
