sorry about the image size but here ya go...

I guess the TBat aint quite so stealthy anymore...these bad boys are a pretty big chunk of bling bling...but I can live with that when it looks this good...but it is crying out for that warbird hood for sure.

Geez those are awesome. By warbird, are you meaning the WS6 hood?

PS.. I like the grandprix.net logo where your rear plate should be... photoshop?

NICE!
245's?
You really need to think about some new headlight capsules and a set of clear corners. Those will also give a big improvement on the looks.

I'm really not a fan of hi-po "bling", but those do look great on your black car.

Stunning just stunning.

Hey Tbat what was the rim size again with offset? I want to throw that info in the FAQ section.

The new rims look sweet, and tie in well with the exhaust tips. I've liked these since I first saw Austin's car. A nice, old school musclecar look!

thanx for all the props guys...the rims are 18x9 w/+38mm offset...the tires are Riken Raptors (made by BF Goodrich) in 245/45/ZR18...I would have to comment on the quality of the wheel/tire combo, a set this big is usually an increase in unsprung weight, which can have a big effect on ride quality and smoothness at high speed. They required little or no added weights for balancing and so far the car has been plank floor smooth all the way up to 80mph. I thought that was pretty impressive for a "bargain tire"

I have been considering new headlight housings but just havent moved them up the priority list...and yes, I do mean the WS6 style hood when I use the term "warbird" (drool)

Looks good, I like how they are flush with the fenders. I would like to space my Torque Stars out to be even with fenders.

This the hood you are talking about T-Bat?

If so I LIKE!!! I think that's what I want on my '03 Silver GTP. That or this one.
