na, i wish though. my friend now has that xmod because he has a blue 2010, it only seamed fitting for him to have it

[Osiris19]

Haha. When I get my car, I'd like to have an XMODS version of it. It'd be pretty cheesy but hey.

hey theres nothing wrong with it, i may pick up a kit to build my 1:1 once i get the money. the hard part is finding if there is a kit of your car

[Osiris19]

Yeah. I'm probably getting a 96-98 Eclipse.

you make good clean jobs and the yellow f-150 is great, never seen something like that before, the colour fits very well

[Gizm0]
