as for the roll glad you came out ok, your car is on the rise
Yeah, those wheels been around huh?? I like them, wish they were a bit lighter but they're the only ones I know that I can run 285's without issues unless I get some customs (I may)

Just got back from the striper, I wanted the tape lines cleaned up where the CF was relieved and around the rear top quarter 'window'. We had talked about doing black but he used a blue gray. Kind of took me off guard, wasn't sure I liked it. He said he thought it needed some color. We talked a while, I asked some other people for input. We decided to do a deep blue and redo the gray, he also talked me into letting them stripe the whole car. I know, I'm a bit nervous about it, I'm not a huge fan of lots of pistriping. They all seemed to think it would look hot, I'll reserve my opinion until I see it (maybe tomorrow). We also agreed that if I don't like it they'll repaint over it. He promised not to make it 'ricey' or 'tacky'. They do lots of show cars so I know the striper will do a good job just not sure how I'll like it. I gave him 'creative liscence' to do what he thought would look good. Oh well, it's just a car and I'm sure it's not 'done' nor will it probably ever be.

It means I didn't put a thicker headgasket in to lower the compression ratio for boost.........
