That is all.

Actually, is that a MD plate?

[hinrichs]

looks good, just wish they went black

[iamjohnisrad]

Not sure what u mean by the robert simmons pic (or y u have robert simmons images lying around?)... And yes im in md.

Black wheels look good with the chrome lug nuts n chrome valve stem spikes. But i still need to source some center caps. That should set em of too. I feel the black looks aggresive. I def liked the look of the black steelies with the large center cap better than all black but like i said i'll see what i can come up with for these new smaller center caps

I like it. Very clean. I see the MICA sticker. I like the aggressive look personally.

I want one of these to play with eventually.

Is that second picture tilt shift? I think the car looks awesome regardless and that two tone is on point.

I shrieked out of sheer joy when I seen your bug. Like Richard Simmons. And some things are better left unanswered.

Also, cool beans, I just moved to New Castle, DE.
