I got back last night... was in the Dallas area, Westin on the Dallas Parkway for my companies Xmas bash... spent more time in the airport though....

I'm digging the wing, when I'm back home next weekend I'll take some more photos, I'll one looking out the back windshield as thats when it looks the coolest!

thanks noturday. can i have more for my rootbeer?


yeah, the wing does look a tad ricey. i guess that doesn't matter though, because it's not a ricer anyway. i bet you could hustle some people with it. until you get some new rims, then it won't work anymore.

I don't think ricey is the right term.... its part of an import style wide body kit so yes it is a little on the large side but its not like I went and mounted a huge wing on a Saturn or Civic

the wing IMO would look much better with a different set of wheels. you have the nice classis old school muscle car wheels on a car with some new age tuner mods, like the wing... it clashes... If the wheels were different i think it would look just fine.

eitherway the stripes look sick! keep up the good steady work!

Yeah I know that the current wheels and rims don't really match so wheels will probably be my next purchase, I've been looking at some clearance bundles tires and rims, 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rears for about 1100 bucks....

I have to buy a few other pieces for TPMS to work correctly so it ends up being a little more than that, add that to the fact that I dont have 1100 bucks and we aren't getting anywhere very fast!! But hopefully I'll be able to snag a set!

Thanks! I'm really happy with how the stripe turned out... it makes the car even more of head turner...

That would be mine Silver Punch Buggy.... although if you think I look cramped in the Mustang you should see me in that!! Which is why my beloved finance gets to drive it.... unless of course its snowing and Walmarts car park is empty..... such as now....

But wouldn't that parking lot be much more fun in the RWD Mustang rather than a FWD Bug? Unless I just totally didn't get what you were saying.. Lol.

Oh come on! Much more fun in the RWD car. Ask my firebird, that wet parking lot down the road, and the cheap rear tires it had. Plus it teaches you good recovery skills..

Oh don't worry I'll do it in the Mustang just not at Walmart... those massive concrete blocks that hold the lamp posts up just will not buff out when you wrap your car around them, so I'll find a better place
