I dont see a bungee cord either... Car looks great though one of my Favorites.

Who ever that is parked behind you in the last pic is pretty close to your bumper. I was washing my car last week and my rear 5.7 TPI bumper emblem fell of in my hand. It was cracked into three peices. It seems my lovely wife forgot to mention she tapped my bumper one day while pulling into the garage.

It's not a bungee cord, it's a "bungee brace" for less cowl-shake! :rockon:

I'm also wondering why there is a bungee cord in the engine bay?

One suggestion.....EVERY single one of the pics you have shown is of the car in front of the house........Move that thing and get some pictures elsewhere....

I think it may be some sort of chassis strengthening for T-Top and convertible cars.

thx everyone and yes the car does move, i just dont happen to have my camera when i move it maybe i can get some other shots from a different place.

yeah the rear is higher than stock because the passengers side airbag lifts the rear alittle more, also the drag springs lifted compared to the stock springs.

Ssssssssslick!

Exterior; Looks great, those rims look fantastic.
Engine; Nice, clean TPI, and NICE intake.
Interior; Very clean, and an incredibly sharp contrast with the exterior.

The whole package is great!

Lol, I think that comment about the pics not taken at your house was directed towards me.



Those are your best pics yet. Now I'm a huge fan of your car. Looks very cool in those pics. Id probably say your Formula is my 2nd favorite out of the 500 pics of Formulas I have on my computer. Id kill to have my interior look that nice
