haha ya i wont be going to fast in that driveway, besides its only a driveway to the basement, so i dont use it often, and im at college....only home for the weekend, the worst part about that is im playing football, and the place where we park our cars is a huge like gravel pit and its almost impossible to keep this new paint clean!!!! o ya if anyone can help me resize these pictures better, instead of having to chop them all up i would appreciate that greatly, because it really takes away from the beauty of the black paint...thanx 1 more.....

u can use paint to resize them. go to image, then sctech schew (sp?) and change the top to numbers, which are 100 and 100 to 50 and 50. volia..smaller

i really like your car. the car looks really good with out the side moldings.

I think he wanted the picture cropped to take all the white area out. I edited your post and attached the cropped picture for you.

Are you going to put the IROC stickers back on or are you leaving them off?
