Very nice. I love the color and the stance. Under the hood pics?

thanks guys for all the comments, i will try and get some pics of under the hood and the interior,   it looks alot better in the pics , the guy that painted didnt do a very good job, i ended up painting the box myself,    im hoping to have some 18" boss 338 in black with nitto drag radials in the back and street tires up front,   and i would like to lower it a lil bit more  bu i will see when i get the wheels!!
