Mj-Styro Posted December 19, 2006 Author Posted December 19, 2006 Didnt care for the molded in tailpipes so i cleaned them up and made my own tailpipes,wasnt sure at first how they would look, but i didnt wanna do what i normally did (which is all the way out the back)........... Also have the stance about right too....i am happy with it atleast...... Here ya go some more pics...........
Mj-Styro Posted December 24, 2006 Author Posted December 24, 2006 Ran out of time for "Santa's Ride" Of 2006! Still need to polish out the body,and finish the emblems,door handles... But like i said i ran out of time! I detailed the grill,the side molding i did in BMF ,and added the black in the middle of the side molding. Decided to raise the back alittle, for COOL rake.......... The 283 Looks really good in there...........wasnt much into 348's or 409's
