I dont want to hyjack this guys thread showing off my car. I was showing him that there is no such thing as to much..as long as it is tastefully done. ( I think my car is tasteful at least in my eyes.)
But you can see pictures and my sponsors on my website @
http://www.cardomain.com/id/indpowr
New pictures of the car will be posted soon as the body kit/motor/wheels are on which should be in about a week or so.
Thanks for asking though.
