With wheels, drop and no ricer headlights, it would look really good.

Grill will come out tomorrow hopefully, Black housing Headlights I may or may not have ordered on friday. Ill probally end up selling the vette wheels and buying black prostars and lowering it down some. It will be getting bigger radials in back(car is on 275 nexen 7000 street tires and spins them clear through second and first)

Ill post more pics this weekend since its been detailed a tad and cleaned up. Hopefully will have the rotors changed out, calipers redone with a few coats of red, wheels stripped,prepped,and painted.

What if you painted the grill black? I think the billet looks good, it just stands out to much. Black could be mean!

Called that one, I took that into consideration today after picking up all my prep\paint stuff. I was gonna remove it, clean bumper up where the grill is now, and get the billet grill as nicely done as possible. Ill post pics before and after along with it being off the car.

Im not a fan of convertibles, but I do miss my 02 Camaro, and ive been really wanting to pick up a new one for a weekend car, so I quit modding my Hyundai.

I'd rock one, but not a convertable. And the Auto kind of kills it too....

Or swap the engine into something better.

If you are going to drag race it, Auto all the way.

If you have ever launched a fast V8 with an Auto with a 3k + rpm stall, you know why.

Exactly what you said. Clearly most of these guys havnt done so. Auto does tend to suck daily driving around because my mind tends to wonder off not doing anything. This car is stock with minor things done and its a beast. I will be installing 4:10s and a 3000-3400 yank stall after my satop classes are over.( I drive 16-18 miles a day to work and back so im not worried about gas)

I got an offer to trade my EM2 for a car similar to this, only was black/black leather and manual trans. But I had to turn it down.

I approve of the pick up. As stated, sucks its a auto, but it doesnt matter. Enjoy the car, hope to see more progress soon.
