Drool....

Sweet, make sure your insurance matches the value with improvements.

I'd suggest upgrading the rear shelf brake light to a cool LED array to finish her off. It looks like a 2000's car otherwise.

I have definitely made sure that the coupe is safe on the road!!! Afetr doing some research on the pitfalls of "agreed value" insurance, I suggest that ANYONE with significant modifications to their car take the time to familiarize themselves!!! There are definitely some loop holes to negotiate!

i'm about to go thru an appraisal to get full coverage but am only being offered agreed value or cash value, whichever is greater. not too happy with that! what did you negotiate?

Try Haggerty Insurance.... They were great to work with on coverage for 3 of my cars & the photographic documentation I have of their "enhancements" was good evidence for increased value.

The widebody is covered far beyond it's value for a very reasonable cost.

S 500 R - thanks for the compliment... I'm looking forward to seeing your car finished now.

Is it just me, or is that tire on backwards? haha

Im guessing it was just a test fit, cuz its the right direction in the other pics.

Dont do a thing IMHO... looks great!!!

Really nice job very classy, and not Guady like some.


Did they make the fender flares from scratch (I.E. planishing hammer and english wheel, )

Or did they graft something on there??

All "show" but no "go"?! Who cares!!!

The car needs nothing! It is in perfect shape and stance IMO.... I'd roll it even if it has a stock engine in it.
