Is this in Pittsburgh? I grew up there out near the airport. Build is looking great! Which Meisterschaft exhaust did you go with? And is the tint on your taillight film or the paint? I've been looking to tint the clears and you're the first one I've seen with it tinted like that instead of the red area.

Nice! That's the only time it's nice to drive around up there, a lot of great spots to take photos at too. Where did you get the tint film at? Pre-cut or a shop just did it? Sorry, just want to put the right stuff on it, the clears are bothering me.

Yes the scenery up north is a amazing sight compared to the flat lands of FL...lol. I got the whole car wrapped in PPF and tinted at Auto Supershield in Boca Raton, FL.

Nice! Lol the track was wet, I hit the paint a few times in the beginning and got scared. So I relaxed and took it easy, there was also a oil spill, I don't know if you can see it in the video.

I haven't seen a Fiero in years! He slowed you down a bit. Nice run though!
