Yeah that car looks great!

I agree with slayer, if you had the berger rear section/black between the taillights, it would look sick!

How is the car holding up to the miles? You always hear people say that the f-body has shitty build quality, and it seems like yours has gotten you this far, any huge gripes? Ours only has 33k on it, and most of my friends haven't even gotten over 100k so I have no idea how well they do on the long run.

Once again beautiful car!
