Well there was actually some sun in Chicago today so I decided to take some pics. Here are just 3 if you guys want more I can post more let me know, the mirror one is to try and show the deffinition of the paint which is called "Spectraflair" and yes i DO NEED WIDER WHEELS but funding is low and its still winter even though it doesnt look like it in the pics.

I didnt like the quality of the kit at all it took a LOT of work to make it look like this, and trust me the front bumper will be gone next year for a Reigar bumper and a euro grill also the hood has to go caus fitment blows.

and what mirrors are those? DTMs??
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Those are the Mattig Drop mirrors, and yes there is a gap because of the way the front bumper is made so it puts the whole front end off. Thats why im getting rid of it for something nicer and not so shady.

I wish it was but nope. Also I am not rich I am a stingy bastard put it this way I dont spend my hard earned money on cds, clothes, food, or anything like that just the car, payments and insurance. I am 19 and in college so yes I do have the benefit of living at home but as for the car it has been earned and its only gotten this far after a long process I got the car in Dec 1999 and from then started modding.

Thanks for the compliments and the jokes about it being a spaceship with rocket boosters. I still have my black tails that I put on it once in a while.

THANKS FOR ALL THE COMPLIMENTS IT MEANS A LOT TO ME!!!

For the person asking for a few rear shots, I eddited two older pics that I posted before into the beginning should give you an idea of the rear.

*WARNING* so noone else yells at me when they buy the kit caus I just got 2 aims. The kit on my car is customized I did get rid of a lot of the lines and added fiberglass to the rear quarter panel. I didnt like the kit so I changed it. Also the fitment is TERRIBLE all around but dont get mad at me I dont sell or promote the kit.

I love the car, but I have couple dumb questions as usual...
How do you get in it? haha...with the shaved handles and all.....is there a remote that pops the door open? Does it stick in the winter time?
Also....what do you do about your license plate? I use to get parking tickets all the time for not having a front plate, but jeeeeeezzzze don't ever park that car in the city! That car is tight though!!!
