Re: niceday+new sportlines+xtra time=PICS!!!

pick one...hood stripes or rear stripe. they each look good, but i dont think they really go with each other. other than that, looking good.

Re: niceday+new sportlines+xtra time=PICS!!!

hey thanks guys! i always gotten mixed reviews of the rear stripe, but i did it to be different and i think it works well. i will try to re-size the pics to 800x600, but photobucket always seems to mess with things

Re: niceday+new sportlines+xtra time=PICS!!!

Looks sweet. It looks like you have that cowl hod for a reason. What kind of intake setup do you have?

Re: niceday+new sportlines+xtra time=PICS!!!

i do, its a carb with a 1" throttle spacer and a flat bottom 4" air cleaner. it makes things sit up a bit high, the idea is to, when i have time, to seal up the bottom side of the cowl, so the aircleaner sits up in it when the hood is closed, away from the engine heat and breathing through the cowl only. aside form that, i just like how it looks.
