Pretty clean looking T/A. Are your wheels gold? Hard to tell on the computer I'm using (vga video card not svga)

I think that car would really stand out with a set of gold GTA rims.
Nice car

Paradise Alley is expensive, very expenisve, yes they will have your parts, but you have to pay a ton to get anything out of there, unless it is worn out or damaged.

I have call ed there for quite a few parts and theyre prices are always outrages.

just my 2 cents on this one

KarpsTA. That is one of the nicest birds I have ever seen. The paint is like glass. Personally, I like monocolor paint jobs best.
