Thanks.

I don't know why the quality of the photos look so crappy here? After I uploaded them the quality looks like ****, they look much better on my PC. Any ideas?

EDIT: I noticed the images were resized when I uploaded them. The size on my PC is 800x600 but these have been resized down to 720x540. Is that the maximum file size?

Ok well that looks a little better, I just resized them down to 700x525 before uploading and it seems to hold the quality better now.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

I will hopefully have some more pictures up before the voting starts. I installed cross drilled/slotted rotors over the weekend and my projectors/HIDs should be here any day now.

Thanks again!

The silver is 7.5" wide and the white pinstriping is 1/4" wide. So with the white, the entire stripes from white edge to white edge is 8".
