This may be a silly question but how do you mark out your liscense plates like that? I know take em off for photos is an option and i will with professional pics. Just wondering.

Car looks GREAT

[Spikito]

he opens the image in microsoft paint, lol

should be self explanatory from there

[Spikito]

all this engine work and still has the AIR system?

[BA2000SS]

I use photo shop to re-size the pictures down. then I use any color and mark over plate then save as this allows the program to compress the picture back to a very clear very good quality image. if done in paint the picture will become distorted and not look the quality it once did...

All this work and the car is still very street able and still passes inspection I change nothing from track to road everyday driving other than 4lbs of air that i let out to run car 27 lbs the car hooks hard 144 60' no reason to take all of it off

Thanks guys
If anyone is in the local area I would like to find some car meets to start heading out to.

Thanks for the comps on the car guys..

I really enjoy the car set up the way it was when i bought it last week as seen in the pix.. Its a tough look and I get looks and cant go to any store or even at a light without someone talking about the car.. I have known this car 8 yrs. its had its share of different wheels on it.. Stock, welds, pro stars, But never anything custom. I have looked for about 3 weeks now for something to put on the car for a more street custom look and I have come to the fact that nothing fits that i want. besides the same ole same ole American Racing Torque Thrust wheels.

So this past weekend I put up an AD for the seats the wheels on car and the extra brand new set of welds with MT ET streets I had for rear Sold everything quick . I have placed order for the new wheels. I got the AR105 TORQ THRUST ANTHRACITE with 555 extreme up front and 555 drag 315 rears , I have placed the original seats back in the car.. I'm going to give the tail lights a light smoke to make it look a little more custom and on the hood of the car I'm going to place flat black graphics with a small pin strip just along the top sides of the snorkels here in a couple of days when the wheels come in I will also paint the calipers a nice color not to flashy but want to be able to see them from a distant.

I will post some pix of the car as it changes .. Hit me with your guys thoughts
