Yes it's missing, he is sending it to me in the mail though. They have a whole box of slp stuff they are sending also.
I don't get it either, there was a 2010 tahoe at work last week that was just as bad as this car, how hard is it to pick your **** up each time you get out?

Finally done, didn't realize this was an all day job. Car looks beautiful inside, it actually resembles a 50k mile car now. All visible stains are out of the carpet and all the nooks and crannies between plastics were scrubbed clean. Seats still need a little scrubbing to get the gunk off though. It doesn't feel like I am rolling around in a meth lab anymore, I love it..

Someone put a deposit down in the 70 Camaro so I took the wheels off and put them on this.. I guess that solved my problem with the beat up wheels, car looks so sick now and it helps the car flow better.

Yup have the 2nd gen offset. I knew the rears would stick out but I didn't think the fronts would so much.

Sorry, but those wheels look like **** on that car, reminds me of the old days when the further your tires stuck out from the wheel wheel, the cooler you were supposed to look.

It looks really good at some angles but at others it just looks stupid. The rears sticking out don't bother me but the fronts sticking out looks goofy..

they are a nice style for the car, but the sticking out kills it.

I need to get the roof repainted so do you guys think I should go black or just keep it red? It has the usual bubbles so I am going to go ahead and get it repainted when I get the spoiler done, I think a black roof with some dark tint would look great.

You better be careful selling cars that aren't registered in your name it is illegal. All it takes is a person that for some reason is not happy with what you sell them. Its tax evasion. Also the bubbles on the roof will come back quick unless you change the sail panel

Man be careful driving around with the wheels at that offset, all it takes is a nose-dive while hitting a sharp corner and that tire will tear up the fender corner. Trust me, my 96 T/A came with wrong offset wheels and both fenders were torn up at the bottom corners. Also, I think you will find most people on here (and in general) will tell you to leave a limited edition car the way it came; I agree with them. Fix the wheels, replace the sail panel and just make it clean but still stock.
