Default Before and after pics please post.

I was looking for a pic to post earlier and found the transformation of my car over the last 2 years kinda fun to look at. So I thought maybe this would be fun to see everyones cars from stock to current. Cant say finished because i dont think there is an end
Thank god EG's car is stock for those with dialup!!
2 1/2 years ago the day i bought it.

and the way it is now

About a year ago.....


And since then I've made several changes like LED taillights, SS Inserts, Underhood Kewl Smoothies, 3/8" tunnel plate (which doesn't show), and headers. I think I have finally reached that point that I have modded just about everything that I can without getting into the engine.
