Default wakey wakey

Well I got off work last night and decided it was time to wake someone up. She fired right up w/o a hitch.

These are my size 15 shoes to give some idea of width.





On the ground and pulling her out.

















Not a great camera at all plus the car is filthy. I couldn't wait any longer to get her out and drive some. I'll wash her tonight.

Thanks everyone. The hood is the factory hood. It's not air brushed. It's just taped off and painted in a pearl for a ghost effect. I painted it on the decklid too. I tried to get a pic but it was too dark to show up. I couldn't remember seeing anyone else with the emblem painted on the hood either. It didn't matter if there was someone that did it or not I've had plans for a while of doing this.

Looks great love the exhaust I have the same tips I think they look the best since they contour to the rear. I never understood the obsession with 4 round tips.
