Default 2000 TA fresh out of the paint shop

This is my buddys ride, it was picked up today from south coast custome here in the Woodlands. It is C6 wheels, custom hood that is 1 of 500 made and he had the heat extractors removed so it is a one of a kind now. The fenders were modded with 76 TA vents, the stock vents removed and a rear winf from a wrecked Firehawk. The front bumper is a custom piece also, he has 5600$ in the paint and bosy and i believe took a month or so to do.

Enjoy











It is escalade pearl white with Audi blue on the flames.

I don't care for the front bumper, but other than that it doesn't look bad.

I like it. Originality is key in something like this. Just a small addition I woulda personally done woulda done the rear bumper with the same color blue Ceta mod to flow with the blue flames. Maybe even have some flame licks coming off the Ceta mod with the hints of green pin striping. Looks a lil plain from the rear end. Other than that, tell your friend hes got one helluva sweet ride.

Yea, i think the rear is plain too, but heck, it is really something when it is coming at you.

Everything looks great except I would have kept the fog lights. It just makes the T/A's!

Yea, that front end originally had a big gaping hole for a huge turbo, the fog lights were in the way for that aplication.

I don't care for anything that he's done... Money wasted IMHO.. Almost could have bought a Procharger for what he spent.. but do what you want with your own car

Edit: I do like the hood... superhawks look good

Those rims are not cheap. have you priced them?! for the dual spoke 18" C6's I got ran me 1600+ bucks and thats w/ tires. THAT is not cheap. Maybe he wanted a decent rim and that was all he could afford at the time? Maybe there are unknowns that you do not know about finacially in his life etc. Some things should just be left unsaid and telling someone thier car looks cheap is one of those things, especially after all the hard work and money they've put into it.

I believe if he lowed the car a bit it would look alot better. As it sits right now its way to high and not real "sporty" looking. Its the hieght thats killing the look of the rims.

Tell yer friend to lower the car and get the blue Ceta and then he will be ballin!

He will not lower it due to the nose costing 500$ and all the body and paint work, here we have some dips that can make you cry. The wheels are temporary and wil be going on my 95 Z eventually. He just wanted to ditch them, the wheels he wants are a little over 2k by themselves, i dont know wich ones they are. I am still just amazed how the fenders turned out with those vents.
