Talking Finally got pictures of the new whip!

So, Finally took some decent pictures of the car. I'll have a full photoshoot later when I think the car is ready.

So, added back in the system. Blacked out avantegarde grill along with the frame. Basically everything that was on my old car is back on the new except for the shock and springs. I haven't had a chance to play with those yet.

Anyways, here are some pictures! I hate the height ... That's riding on no spring pads too...

i thought your wheels were not chromed as per your signature? beware of indeterminable leaks as they get older. i skipped a coupla cars that had chrome rims when i bought mine. simply for that.

ive been waiting ever since day 1 to see the sequel. I like it, the 4x4 stance is gorgeous but as i hear its in the works already. Please get rid of the chromies and sell them to the homies. You need the signature aero 1 without center caps back on.

Sad to see the new and the old tho, hope you like the new one better especially with the v8

cheers,
Pete

Oh, Those aren't the hammer's on the car right now. Right now they are on 17" chrome monoblocks. I think they are 17 x 8.5 ... Pretty wide. The tires are almost out so I'm running this until they are worn out and then I'm going to put the Hammer's on.

How does the grill look guys?

Let me know if you have it! I'm going to be painting the bumper and sides soon along with adding AMG sideskirts so it'll be nice to have that on to clean it up a bit.

Melvin, umm ... Yeah, The grill is powercoated black right now. I wanted to see how it looks first. I'll be color matching it when everything else goes into the body shop.

I think you should leave them off, it really is your "signature", like ptoro01 said.

Yeah, and an unusually strong right arm and hairy palms...

hey, I'd be near blindness if I had a V8, too.

Actually, they are both evenly strong. I like to switch it up a bit.

The supra is a friend of mine. We were install a clifford alarm with remote start while I was taking those pictures. It's NA for now but a single turbo set up is in the process.

I have no clue, parts are still available if anyone is interested. Waiting to insurance to pay out my car and tow the damn thing away so I can park my car in the garage! Sucks having to put on and take off the car cover everyday and night.

hahahaha! You and your photoshop skills. That does actually look good. Now I'm REALLY looking forward to color matching the bottom. Color matched Hammers anyone?

ahhh you got me. lol My right foot is pretty heavy. Heavier now ...

Do you need the spring compressor back anytime soon? If so I'll drop it off for ya. I was gonna play with the springs when I have more time since school and work has been killing me.

The parts are boxed and ready, Just haven't had time to ship them out. Everytime I get out of school and work USPS is already closed.

I'll do it by Saturday for sure Matt, sorry for the delay!

and I know you miss me. hang in there... you'll survive. It's time to go back to your wife ...
