    No full car pics of yet, for those of you that complained from the last time pics were shown the SS emblems have been removed now that its been a sufficent time since when it was painted.







    Little beefier more muscle car look, wheels a little farther out.



    My SS hood, the cameras metering system got tricked and it came out as such, I like it. Mysterious.

          I use steel wool and mother mag polish and it works very well.

                You sure cause I scratch one of the rims with fisker safety scissors (standard issue K-12 scissors) and they're not even that sharp. Aluminum is lower on the hardness scale then steel is.

                  Weeee, took it out for a spin after I tightened down the lugs, the right side still isn't that tight the ratchet I was using as improvization met its match its pretty much just shards of metal inside it so I could really "tighten" it too much. But hey safety is in the eye of the beholder. I'd still like to drop it another 1/2-1". Along with a myraid of other small things, tinted windows, blacked out or clear corner front turn signals maybe halos, rear brake lights with that gts cover, cf decals etc etc...

                              They look alright from a distance it's upclose you can see the haze and waterspots.



                              Everything looks clean from a Distance, in that pic my car has dirt behind the wheels, the wheels themselves are dirty the car is dirty and has spots on it.
