Yep that's mine, thanks I appreciate it

Hopefully she'll be back up and running soon, got a second job to help pay for the parts.

are those 17's in the front and 18's in the back?

They're actually 18's all the way around. 18x9 and 18x10.5

holy shit- had me fooled, must be the angle but the fronts look so much smaller than the rears- hopefully no offense. it looks perfect with the hood

No worries most people think they're 17's up front lol.

Thanks man I love the hood. The only thing I would change about the car would be upgrading to some CCW wheels!

 

[encasedmetal]

yeah I really want a LS swapped 98 yellow with CCW 505's

 

[Musturd]

Whoa no transvestite mustangs

 

[encasedmetal]

no offense but after working on this car, no more modular shit-and LS motors are by far my favorites ever

i loled yeh i hear yah mod shit is well... a pain in the ass. i might toy with a chevy soon or just end up with another mod gd i gotta make up my mind.

I went back to a SBF just for ease of working on them and the price of the parts, much cheaper less work IMO.

Cars sicks and has a healthy list of upgrades, good luck with it!

He's has got to have to be in the top 3 cleanest SN95s in the area if not the cleanest. The paint on that car is amazing...

 

[encasedmetal]
