Hi TBL.
Looks good. Headers and a cool exhaust system will be available soon. I will send you a photo of the headers when they are done if you are interested. I saw a black one witha little old lady driving it she had 245/45/17 Nitto Extremes on the rear and the fronts were a different type of Nittos and a little smaller. It looked cool but I thought that these were front wheel drive???

mike they are front wheel drive, but hey if my grandma was driving one of those with hot rod tires i would think she was the coolest granny around. these are good looking to bad they don't offer rear wheel and bigger cubes. the latest hot rod has a pic with about 30 of them, some looking real trick, check out power tour section.

Hey Rich:

Cool wheels, I envy you and it is on my possible next car list.

Question? Did you have to pay $10K over sticker like The NHTSA guys did for their two barrier crash cars?
What a stupid story that was and it was true unfortunately.

They only got me for a hair over retail. People are paying some rediculous prices for these things, though.
