everyone leans toward those wheels, haha. the sts baffles are the best, good sound, good power. I spent about 1250 on em back in 05(can't believe it was that long ago) they surface rusted though and jet-hot had to recoat them. Get them, you can't beat the look and sound. watch your legs

I'd post a pic if mine ever get here. I ordered them through Jet Hot 2 Apr and they still aren't here. I keep getting the "2-3 weeks" response. I also ordered the Sweet Thunder baffles after listening to sound clips on my surround sound for like a week. They got here 3 days after ordering them.

At first I was concerned about the black, but now I like it. Sinister I think....

They look MUCH better in the pics than in the video, I repainted them.

'74, you got the bumper. Also has a Stinger hood but the thing was molded wrong and I can't get it to line up everywhere....

They are a pain to clean, but besides that couldn't be happier. Go with the max flow inserts, they are the best by far for the price.
