Even the roof color is different, is that the vinyl cover or painted. Someone here in NAM even used Home Depot's Plasti-dip on their roof....


Love the rims, are those Enkei ?

1: It's a Black Out Roof Kit vinyl from Aesthetic Creations
2: Thanks, they are the Rota Torque wheels in hyperblack. Don't know why nobody gets these, and everybody seems to pick the SubZero's.

Cool looking cross-racer look, all you need are some meatballs on the doors. I notice you extended the A checkers with another row on the door, how'd you do that ? Nice job.

hee hee hee, my little secret...

Actually, I got some silver vinyl from the local sign shop, cut it into squares to match the ones on the car, and extended the checkers... I had actually extended them along the doors temporarily for a show, liked it but only temporarily. I left the one row on for a while, now even that is off and I'm back to stock checks. Coupla mods that you can't see (Alta CAI, aux input, Hella air horns), that's about it. May do a pulley someday, but this "S" is pretty strong out of the box.

That's a great idea with the squares!! It's great to see something completely different! Do you have a picture of when it was extended along the doors for the show?

I posted it 2 posts up - that's as far as I extended it because I ran out of vinyl. Really wanted to extend it like a "blowing squares off the back of the car" look for the show, sort of succeeded but not as well as I'd like. I also drive the car to work, so can't go too crazy!
