Great car! Really like the stance and overall look. Great locations for the pics too!

I don't like the exhaust but you're going to change it so that's cool.  Cool

If it was perfect, it would have a 48 motor to back up it's looks!  Wink My opinion anyway. That and I would put amber tops on it... I know you guys are trying to look like US code cars but most if not all US Cal-Looks ran amber tops.

It would be one of the first things we'd do... drop 'em, exhaust and amber tops.
