Don't have any pics when I bought mine, it was bone stock with chrome 16's, think we've all seen that before.

Here's what it looked like this fall. First pic was before the L-Sportline rear that was added late fall. New shoes and a few other mods being done this winter.

I agree. That trunk looks good!

Here's mine the day I bought it and how it sits now. I haven't really done much cuz I've been putting in work on other projects.



Dropped on DF210's with the IS wheels:



On 20's:
