In some of those pics, the car looks like its sits 10inches off the ground. Can't tell if its the car or the pics, but im not a big fan. The inside doesnt match the outside, and im not sure if you could actually read those gauges the way they are placed.

Looks like he has the same minute line up problems with his front bumper that I have with mine.

I heard the wheels really aren't as wide as he claims, I heard they're really 19x7's with a huge spacer. Lame.

If you look closely at the rear tire in this pic:



You can clearly see the sidewalls are stretched. So if those are in fact 7 inch wide wheels like you say, those tires would have to be like 165s!

And look at this pic:



Look at the relationship of the rear disc in relationship to the wheel center, I don';t see any spacer in there. Of course, I've been wrong many times before.

And look at the lip of the wheels, and the width of the tires, IMHO, they don't look like 7 inch wide wheels to me.

Oops sorry Gene, I didn't realize you were the one posting. The pics were wider than my screen and I didn't see who authored the post until after I check my post.

Guess I'm the .

The headlights look so small on the frontal photo shot....or is it just me, and in the shade the color looks ok, but man in the light it looks like the puke color baby blue color. lol
And i dislike the front bumper, BUT it is supercharged and can whoop my tc so cant say much....lol

show cars like that don't pay attention to the biggest details.

they worry more about the big mods like paint job, wideboyd, big crazy rims, 6 pot bbks and crazy sound system.

grilsl and retrofit headlights dont matter

Seriously, what is up with the front bumper. It is crazy warped. Isn't that the touring widebody kit. I thought urethane wasn't supposed to do that.
