Wayne,

Pic's don't show all the imperfections you would see in person. My RS looks great in a picture, but when you see it in person you will notice all the chips taken out by the great sand blaster (the highway).

Still kessler89/2.8 has a dam good looking car!!

yeah those are crager SS's i picked up all 4 of them off a buddy of mine for $120 i'd say thats a pretty good deal considering their list price, my car suffers from long term sun damage and the hood and roof are almost to the bare metal

thanks for the compliments

Yeah Bitchen RS is right. In my pictures you would think the car was freshly painted. But up close you will see the rear quaters are cracking up and bubbling. So pictures hide alot of things.

Looks pretty cool. I like the big chrome exhaust tips. Been thinking about doing that when I redo my exhaust. Gonna repaint it the same (9535)? Did I get it right? Good luck finding touchup paint. That's the color I have. You should put rear mud-flaps on too. My paint's all chipped right behind the tires from being driven 9 yrs without them until I got the car. 5 bucks at the junkyard fixed that.

yeah i had some mud flaps out back but one of them broke off from the cold i guess, i got those tips off a 2000 mustang GT i used to work at a muffler shop and a guy got a cat back system on his GT and said i could have the tips stainless steel, cant beat that
