Makes me excited too. I know our cars are not as shiny as the '12s rolling off the line, but man do they look nice when someone puts some effort into 'em.

You guys are pretty observant! Thanks for noticing that.

We're planning on having our bolt-on build-up New Edge completed sometime this year. Unfortunately, we haven't started it yet, but as soon as we do, I'll be sure to post up and let you guys know!

What would you like to see us do for this bolt-on build-up!?

Thats a good question! Id personally like to see some suspension goodies, as for engine, I have no idea, I havent even thought to much on that for my car. Oh, maybe some brake work. And some body styling minus the rear window louvers.. lol

in all seriousness, make it a super handling corner carver. High hp cars are done all the time, make something that will corner so well you'll dislodge your face!

I agree. I'm in the minority, I'd rather handle and brake better than tear up the quarter mile.

Having an 04 build that isn't a Terminator is pretty righteous IMO. Keep up the great work AM.

Ha good call David!
I would like to see what a set of heads will do, then headers and as stated above suspension stuff would be a plus for sure. a different Intake Manifold/plenum would be interresting to see also. But they sure are expensive

You all are so generous, offering to put the parts on your cars.

I'd like to see an IRS equipped supercharged beast with some upgraded heads, cams, and intake. Full exhaust. Coilover springs, shocks, c/c plates, tubular k member and A arms. Bump steer kit. If you need more ideas, let me know.
