Finally some pix's of the new stripes

I finally got around to taking some pic's of my car at a recent car show. I had a local show here paint the tungsten stripes. I also had them shave the antenna, install hood pins and cover up the 3rd brake light when they installed the Cervinis ducktail spoiler. Tell me what you think.

Oh can anyone recommend some good software to resize digital pic's?? I had to use Adobe Photoshop and I'm losing half the pic in order to get it to the right size, to be able to upload here.. Thanks

Stripes look good. A canton burp tank would look nice under the hood with those billet caps!

ha ha thanks!! I say the same to you!! I see your going to put the Cervinis billet grilles on .. I am actually thinking of painting mine black. I wont something different. I also ordered the "smoked" clear turn signals so we will see if that gives it the slight change I am looking for.

Thanks Jeff.. as long as I can get my girl to drive me!! And to explain.. I got a speeding ticket in Jers a few years back and never paid it so I dont dare drive in Jersey anymore. The ground clearance is actually pretty good. Its the stock suspension up front (Roush in the rear) I also have 255/45/18 tires so that helps. Thanks for all the postitive feedback guys.. that's why I like coming to this site.

If you black it all out it would look so sinister, really cool!
I like what you did putting the top and bottom grille the same, I personally don't like the two little fog lamps that come with the Cervini kit.

thanks.. what I dont like is how small the Cervinis ones are, plus $450.00 for some fogs and a grill with holes cut into it.. naw.. I could use that money somewhere else. This way mine is alittle different them most. I think this weekend I'll paint the grills...work some to worse I'll just sand the front of it back to the way it looks now.

The end results are well done. I would have done the same IMO.

ha ha thanx!! yeah I always hated that 3rd brake light.. same thing with the antenna.. I get a kick out of how many fellow S197 owners never realize they arent there anymore. Its not until I point it out or mention it that they say something. Just another way to try and make my "Lois" stand out.
