    Damn cool! These car don't need much, just the right stance and the right wheel & tire combo. And you've nailed it!:)

    I don't mean to offend you, but what does a job like that cost? It looks great, sits just right! I've always wanted to have it done, but with the crap that I drive the airbags would cost more than the car.

    I'm drooling. Looks bad ass. You gonna call it "T-bag"? Hahahaha. I don't think Donnie's wife was down with the name although I'm sure he tried.

    roadapple...that is fuckin awesome that's it's new name "T-bag" from now on.

    datdirtyrat...hey bro, things are good. Just moved into a new house I have not phone or cable b/c of the damn strike so I'll be checkin in from time to time.

    dracinthebox...it cost a pretty penny but in my opinion it was worth it!

    lownslow...hey holmes! Definitely bag your wifes bird. B/c it has no frame the thing sits on its floor pans. There's a little bit of screwing around but it's pretty much straight forward. We did a monoleaf in the rear, with the bag on top of the axle. Shocks are in their stock locations and in the front they did custom bag mounts on the top control arm and it bolted into the factory location in the tower and we relocated the front shocks and that's about it. "see you in Paso 2006"

    Thanks for all the comments...I'll post more pictures as I make progress on doin the body and paint now!
