Sweet lookin! I love that color too. That was the only other color I would've had my car painted besides Silver.

You can't be still running true duals w/ the turbo are you? How's that possible? And if you aren't what exhaust system are you running to hid the tail pipe like that?

Thanks guys.

The rears are 315s on an 11" wheel.

I am just running a custom 3" exhaust. It is very small and very restrictive right now at my power level but it is also very quiet. It consists of an edelbrock rpm stainless single 3" in and 3" out and the pipe curves upward then downward and dumps right at the bumper so you can't really see it.

A local guy was parting out his f-body and I had always told him if he was selling the wheels to let me know. So I gave him my old ZR1 wheels and cash.
