My best side?

Took a "Hillbilly Holiday" today and playing with my wife's camera.

And yes it's still cold as !@#$ up here in North West Ohio.

Ok, in my opinion I think yur car would look better if the tail pipes were trimed to a shorter length. I do like the angle though. Its just my opinion and I aint really nobody anyway. :cheers:

Re: My best side? (marshrat99)

Maybe it's the camera angle, but they don't look even. Or maybe it was the barley pops!! :cheers:

Re: My best side? (marshrat99)

Startin to look better. Have you considered cutting the pipes on an angle that was level to the ground and paralell to the underside of the bumper? I dont mean cutting them so far that theyre out of sight. But an angled cut pipe level to the ground hanging about 2" below the bottom of bumper. If you muff it up or dont like the look then you can always add some crome tips or whatever. Just a suggestion. Maybe someone on here whos good at photo suite can doctor the pic to give you an example. Not being pushy. It looks better already. :yesnod:

The back and side windows are tinted. They're pretty dark and may end up getting me a ticket sometime. I'm not sure who did the windows but they did an excellent job. But what the heck, the cops will be pulling me over for the pipes anyway :lol:
