oh my god that is one ugly car.... I like the suspension/performance mods though, those look good.

definetly invest in the rear sway bar, its worth it for sure.

and question for you/anyone whos delt with big brakes.... why do cavi big brakes always have the wierd wear pattern on the rotors? they never cover the whole rotor surface like normal brakes

ok after a second look a new hood and some wheel well lines will work wonders for the exterior apearance on the car.

Those huge wheel arches make the wheels look small. Maybe for show, put some spacers to push out the wheels.
You already know you need a new hood.
I like those rims, too.

i was stoked on the pics untill i saw that ugmo hood and something i bet the driver calls a body kit,

At least spend 5 min and take the pin stripes off..

Have you ever heard of "more with less"?

shoulda left the finders, hood and mirrors stock and you would have a lot more fans,

you have a lot of nice parts, but you should study up on some car design books.
