LOOKS GREAT! I like the comp grays even more, but the silver painted look 1000x better than the polished/chrome (50 layer SFI flame suit on). I guess I'm just anti-pimp. To each his/her own.

not very smart. no rear license plates is a good reason to get pulled over. Also running red lights is smart. Drive drunk too?
