It's been a long time since I posted a pic of my car here. Not much has changed appearance wise, except for the rims. All the changes are under the hood and floor of the car, I'll post a pic of the engine real soon.

What do you think?

^ Agreed. I think it looks pretty intimidating with the Welds. Althought its rare to find a real fast GTA, Id think twice if I pulled besiude it.

Its definately not a sleeper....Welds on a car is the opposite of sleeper.
