The more I look at it, the more I love it. No money involved, other than the $60 for mounting and balancing at the dealer. The wheels were a spare set that came with the car. The powder coating company owed me money...so there ya have it!

Haters unite...

The windows are done in 20% actually, the sun is just blaring through the windshield. BSM is a winter project...

Along with headers, heads and cam...hopefully...

Not a real fan of black wheels, but they do look pretty good on your car.
