yeah i actually started buying stuff b4 i got the car. I have been known to smoke crack. well not really but ya know what i mean. i've still got soo much to do , easystreet air setup , shine street body kit , b cool black lower grills , and then a pe s/c untill i swap motors in a year or so. so yeah i smoke crack. and to top it all off i am broke. i work my ___ off to make hardly any money and then spend all my leftover cash (and credit) to pimp my rides.

How much did all of it run you? And are you gonna do any mods to the motor? I did the same thing, I got my box 4 months ago and I've already maxed out the credit card. Looks good though.

I've got a 15 inch solobaric in the trunk aimed up. I can't latch the back seat cause the box is so big put it sounds beautiful but now all my side pillars on the inside are coming loose cause its so powerful. So I guess it's time to dynomat the ride and she'll be good as new.

I like the wheels, but too dark for my tastes. I think with that wheel color, side body graphics might be cool. IMHO
