Its also mis-labeled....says he has a Fresh Rebuilt LTI....his pics show a TPI intake.

Taste is something that is rare these days.

That paint he gas on the gauge face plate looks like that spray paint you can buy at Partsource with the little swirly colors in it. Looks cheezy! What a waste of a T/A

I actually like the amber and purple parking lights...

But it's hard enough getting one person to sit in the back of our cars...let alone two! Atleast your short friends would have their own screens.

Atleast he's got good taste in bikes...check out "View seller's other items" Although the pain scheme won't be for all, atleast he didn't mutilate it.

looks like he made a t-top car into a convertable / targa top. If you look at the pictures you can see that the top (black part) is felt or some other material used for convertables.

The targa portion... well it doesnt look just like the other targa's.. but it is "custom"

Though I dont necessarily like his color scheme or some of his other styling points, I do have to give him props for all that work that was put into it. Regardless of if he had someone do it, or if he did it himself it had to cost an arm and a leg.

CAR WAS A SPONSORED HOT-WHEELS CAR FOR 1 YEAR,I WENT TO 10 SHOWS AND GOT 10 FIRST PLACE TROPHIES Well its diffrent there are some pluses and some negatives. Did anyone else notice it says special edition on the rear end? lol I kinda like the hood how he did it, its completely useless for functionality for a TPI but for TBI it would work

Maybe so, but it's the American way. Freedom of speech, freedom to express irrelevant opinions, et al.

Some people thrive on negativity.

Other than that, don't know what to tell ya.

you do think the nitrouse tank is a sub right? I think i'd like it all alot more if the wing was replaced and the roof didn't look like he was going for a kinda fake cadilac convertible look and those that rear window shade thing. Other than that its kinda neat has alot of work into it
