    day-ummmmmm! i need to change my shorts now...

    those pics singlehandedly changed my mind from running big billet/chrome wheels on my buick to wide whiteys!

    I might even take those extra painful steps to get it that freakin low now, i was happy with how it looked with no rear notch till I saw that bad m-f-er!

    Keep the updates coming!
