Woohoo! Progress!

My only suggestion is I think the car would look better with brushed lips on the wheels... the all-black wheels just disappear IMO. Brushed lips would make them a little more noticeable without drawing too much attention. Either that or whitewalls.

I've had several people comment on how they liked the blacked out intercooler; the raw aluminum is cool, but in my opinion distracts from the front end of the car.

Jody I think you might have me sold on this. That really looks good on yours and I think would on mine too. Thanks for posting those pics. Never get sick of seeing pics of your car.

I say I get you in the 1320, but you get me in the turning races. Hopefully we can find out sometime...

Skip, did you get the renewal paperwork for being President of my Official Fan Club?

Thanks Manny. You'll be home in no time. Get back safe and hopefully we can cruise or meet up when your ride is done. How's it coming?

Thanks Tone. If you like loud, you probably would like it.

Yeah I had thought about that but I really didn't want the extra contrast (these wheels were black center/polished lips before as a comparison) and was okay with losing some of the detail of the wheels.

Whitewalls.... now there's an idea.

At the same compensation as last year?!

Sorry, no can do. That's chicken feed compared to what I get promoting Little Yerry Seinfeld.

Default More changes??

Dude, we better pull that thing and black it out soon if you think you want to. I went ahead and ordered the whitewalls, should look pretty sweet- maybe we can get a pic for Skip w/you standing next to the whitewalls and the world-famous Flash Footwear.

I sent my MagnaCharger in yesterday to get overdriven....more boost please!!

No word on your ProCharger yet............
