Default I was dreaming and . . .

It looked good, not obtainable in the near or far future, but it's a nice thought.

Here is my car way back when (in 1995) before I tore it down to little pieces.



I always dreamed of having chrome Hooker sidepipes someday. And then when I saw the chrome TTII's, that was part of the plan as well.

Well, now I found these, TTII Classic (like the 'D' but will fit with our calipers) and available in 15", 16", 17" and 18" in custom offsets.



And now I think that the black Hooker sidepipes would look better with the wheels and the white paint.

What do you all think? Photochops anyone?

Remember, this is only a dream. If this was a reality, I would be directed to my nearest parts place to purchase the required items

Craig

I want those wheels!

Need paint first. But not before a new converter, and higher rear end gears and a composite rear spring and new carpet and quieter street exhaust with cutouts and steeroids and an aluminum radiator and a monospring front end and.........


the stuff at the beginning is on the short list. The other stuff is MY dream along with those wheels.

Unfortunately, my happiest dreams come true just to make the house payment and feed the kids for the month.

The 17x8 are $288 each and the 17x9.5 are $306. They are nice.

Would the black sidepipes look better or the chrome ones with a white car?

Paint the wheel centers to match the black sidepipes. It has an "all business" look about it.
