First off let me say those 11's with the magnaflow tips look plain killer.

The pics are almost like teazers or somethin. Must have full shots of BOTH cars. The Firehawk on those SP500's with DR's is just as sick as your's. Great Job on both cars.

the firehawk is NBM. the EB really brings out the purple in it. its a very nice, very CLEAN car. its my buddys car at our shop. usually both the cars are pretty clean but they've been sitting. i am pretty **** about the car, and he is 2x as **** about his! (wow that sounded gay)

like i said, unfortunately i dont have many pics of my car since its been painted. the front end looks pretty killer too with the whistler headlights, black grill, and smoked corners. the car is under construction for the winter so it'll be a while for complete pics. ill try to find some more of the hawk. i love his car! both cars are full weight m6 streetcars capable of 1000whp

thanks for the comments

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....we all bust his ***** ALL the time about the 4x4. he refuses to lower it. it has a nice front and rear stance though. looks BA. actually looks low in the front

the picture of the front of the firehawk was when there was no engine in it.

unfortunately yes. im actually repainting the engine bay AGAIN this year after i fab my new setup. it will probably stay black. i'd love to have it blue, but chances are a lot of little spots wouldn't get covered properly, and that would **** me off...... give and take
