Well painting the wheels black really seems to improve the appearance, maybe it is the angle of the picture. I am working on getting some ssc springs before too long.

i ripped the evo mod off....didnt turn out like i wanted it to (didnt look right on the blurple beast lol)

and the reason the 2 inner light's are darker then the brake light's is because ive cut and polished the middle one's...havent gotten around to buffing the other's...its a very tedious and time consuming project...not to mention sketchy lol...

I feel left out on something! I bought my 06 NA balt from my gf, and she bought it from a guy another state away.. When she bought it, it looks like the LS bumper.. is the 06 NA supposed to have the bumper with the smooth areas around the fog lights? Sorry if this sounds dumb but I wanted that bumper from the beginning and it turns out that it might not even supposed to be on it.. Ideas?

I have the N/A rear bumper, 8th VIN is a B, SS badges and speedo goes to 140 with white backlighting.. the placard sticker on the bumper in the engine bay is missing so I'm short on option besides the VIN.. --EDIT-- I ran the VIN and it is a 2.4.. maybe I can swap bumpers then.

Anyway, sorry to steal the thread.. You guys have some really nice looking cars!

hmm idk why there would be a base model bumper on it then. maybe they broke the front bumper and went cheap on repair.
