thanks guys i have alot of people who really like my car, its a 98 looking fresh now, man i hated the nasty color so i had to change the color asap! yes i do work for a body shop so im very picky and i had this car examed really check out on every little small detail. its all dentless, it had about $2,000 hail damage nd cost me very low since i have alot of hook ups! Suspension is next but im having trouble on finding something i like. i want atleast a 2" drop in the front or all around but im having bad luck finding a drop like that, i paid a good amount for this paint job so i want good quality drop not nothing cheap, and speaking of wheel i already have a set of 20" rims but i wont throw them on till i drop it...
