Is it my eyes or is the green on your engine different than the green on your car? For some reason I like the green on the engine better, it strikes me different. It might be an optical illusion just because its sitting in the black engine bay.

Very nice!

see the difference betweeen me and pimp yo ride.... is

1. i rebuilt the whole car myself (didn't pull body or paint)
2. i just didn't make it look hott but it can hold it's own on the street
3. i didn't add tv's under the car
4. my mexican brother in law did help me with the interior..and i called him isph and he laughed...sum beaatch had it wrapped in 2 hours... i [payed him 2 bucks]
5. i tucked my 20x9 rims AND lowered the car (pimp my ride doesn't do that)
6. i got chrome UNDER my car...


but i could go for a few minor interior changes and a repaint with a few body mods though...

to each his own....

Default Pimp your ride

I meant the pimpin part as a complement! I like your whole theme!
I've only seen PMR once and it seems to be about just takin a piece junk and turning it into a masterpiece!

My pimpin ride is stock on the outside and built like a C5 on the inside (at least that is the goal).

Again, pimpin the ride is the way to some hide. Keep on pimpin bro!
