hey man I think I saw the guy coming to pick you up from work? I saw it pull in and thought it was you and flashed my high beams and started putting the window down but then realized the driver was not you...the back of the car def makes it stand out....looks good man, congrats

btw do you have a garage? If so I am VERY jealous. That kinda looks like west park village or whatever in westchase? I know you live around that area.

I went out about 5 times last night before finally settling down for bed. Mostly to walk by but I checked the locks twice. Thanks for all the comments, and I'll post some better pics when I get the chance.

Yeah that was him, he said he saw you but only remembers you from HS back in the day so he didnt stop. Such a cool kid, he picked me up from work in my new car so I could see it early. Badass.

I'll park by you at work so you can see it.

I'm still getting used to the painted bumper. I like it but it took a while for it to grow on me. I'll post some more pics this weekend so everyone knows what I'm talking about.

Ain't that the truth, I've had mine less than two weeks and I don't think my euphoria is ever going to wear off. Congrats and welcome, she's a beauty!
