I also liked the rear lights and pipes exit, but the Advance Auto Parts cowl scoop killed it for me. The wheels and tires say "dirt track" to me.
Jon and Stuart, small world! 400 4spd.
I've been using Speed and Sport in Houston for a few years. No complaints about the quality and it's always back within a few weeks.

I agree, the one they show looks just like it. Thanks fellas.

Thanks Keith. That was pretty cool.
Dropping the center bar allows more over head clearance. The car can rotate closer to the floor and hopefully clear a low ceiling. Bad side to it...
