yes you do!!! its a nice little 408 with et heads and a "little" procharger under there. I just got my rims mounted and balenced so ill put those on tomarrow. the engine compartment is also done, all the wires down both sides are relocated to the wheel wells and the abs pump is gone. ill get some pics of that in the next day or so. its kind of a mess now from wet sanding the outside and having that crap drip in. i wasent sure what color I wanted the things behind the window so if I want them black I can mask them and paint them later. thats what your talking about right?

I wouldent advise painting over vinal stripes, they will lift and pop the clear coat, get some fineline 3M tape and measure your *** off, put the tape down at the start point, stretch it over to the end of the panel to keep the line straight. spray your stripe color first so you dont have to mask the entire car off twice. as far as the curves go in the front of the hood (cant see them in those pics, they turn into themselves before the end of the hood) its just a bunch of playing around till you find what you like and then getting it to look the same on the other side. Alcohol is highly reccomended for laying out stripes. it helps you stay patient LOL
