Awesome..Ive always liked your car but those rims just set it off. The color is perfect too those rims always look good on a black car. Some tint would look good as well.


With all the import looking stuff being added to these cars. It nice to see one done up right. Mostly stock with tasteful upgrades.

Wow, looking good. I think it looks a lot better than the stockers. Have you considered a strut tower brace yet, I noticed a nice improvement in handling with mine?

I really like them, i believe that rims are by far the best appearance mod that can be done to a car......

I say don't give up on the hood......i say just get another Ram Air fiberglass hood......

I might take that Edelbrock STB off your hands if you are selling it for the Kenny Brown, PM me........

Car looks great...

I would keep the whole car looking Formula all the way. Except for the new rims you have, those still look all natural for your car,looks like the Firehawk, I would go for the polish on the tail lights.

MdFormula350 with those new rims and tires did it change the overall size of the tire. What i mean is, are the tires the same diameter cause i dont want taller tires.

Don't get another aftermarket hood, the stock one looks killer.. I don't like the others really, but that's just me...

I agree. Your car looks outstanding! I'm jealous as hell,another black Formula with the Firehawk wheels and I still don't have a set yet. Hopefully after the Mrs. finishes grad. school I'll be able to get a set.
Also,forget the Drag springs and go with the ProKit.

Very nice. Remember it will take some time for the springs to settle, so if you install them and think they are a little high, just wait alittle.
