I love you car man... I never get sick of looking at it... Its got a sleek stock look but at the same time you were able to modify it for some serious power. And you choice of a powerplant is awesome can't beat a 12at

Your car is absolutely gorgeous, but I am not sure about the chromed -SE wheels. I just don't think that they fit with the sleek, sexy, sleeper kind of look. But if you dig them, man, rock 'em with pride!

Yup, very nice to see someone put a lot into the car while maintaining most of the stock look which I like so much. Good color, good call on the original fin, great job on the hood (effective but not soooo obvious - has an aura of sophistication about it) and hey, the SE wheels do grow on a guy. Kudos for leaving the rubber trim and you can never go wrong with the moonroof. And with the grey I gotta say, the clear signal lights look good too.

Only two things to note: First, I'll give you the headlights as a matter of preference - they do look a bit more modern. And second, the only other thing you need to add is a Valentine One to the front windshield.

The car is beatuful man. I love everything about it. What size is the carb?

You will pick up a lot of power if you get rid of that turbonetics hat and get one from CSU or Extreme Velocities. I borrowed my buddies CSU hat and picked up 22 RWHP over the turbonetics hat. Just a suggestion.
