It sucks because There isn't many here, I may have to wait until I head south (To my parents) and go to shops there lol.

I live in northern canada, and everything is at LEAST 2 years behind... They're still in the F&F days.. and big wings lol.

These are the only decent shots I really have right now from a recent car show. Haven't had much time to get out on a nice day and take more. I still have to modify the rear to camber and drop it lower. Only have a couple months left before winter though so will hopefully get it done for spring time. Also the stripes are gone now and yes the trunk is open in the 2nd pic lol. The first 3 pics give a good idea of what the blue actually looks like. The 4th pic was taken with a different camera. lol

Beadsetter, that's the tank of air that you fire into the tire, right?
