Haha. Thanks, I don't think I've ever gotten a comment like that. I tried really hard to clean it, but every crevice seemed to want to spit out more stuff as soon as I sprayed it with the hose, which made it much harder.
I'm going to have a new fender painted (which I completely spaced about and left at your house Arin...) soon, so we'll see how that turns out. I want to get all the holes filled. ie: the ones where the GT emblems are supposed to be, and where I ripped out my side skirts. I don't know how much it's going to cost to get them all filled and painted, though, so I'm putting my engine start button on hold.

Only Arin did a burnout yesterday. 
Peter is still inexperienced when it comes to the art of burning out, and I wanted to have a ride home...

I want to get this, but for now I'm stuck with the TriBars.
The Mach stripe would be pretty trick, though.

Unfortunatly that picture is being blocked by my works firewall so i can't see it.
But since you are saving up or somthing you should totally paint your current rims like the 93 R.
Except on yours paint the center cap black as well. so your would be all black except that lip would be left silver.
OH OH and 03 mach chin spoiler! you should custom fit on your car.

The Mach lips look funny on curvy SN's, in my opinion, but I kinda like the idea of painting my wheels black, or Dark Grey. I'm kinda debating it still, because I tried to clean them for the photoshoot, and they are horrifically dirty.

Honestly those wheels would look awesome painted black. clean them the best you can, use a light grit sandpaper on the areas you'll be painting. and clean them again real could and spray em black. after black dries shoot the entire thing in clear and they will come out really good.
You have to go black with the hood and rear spoiler.
There is a pretty good article on fixing the curb rash on the lips too. you should search for that.

Arins diff should give us a couple smoky streaks.
Does the limited slip still work on Peters car? They are usualyl to worn to work on a car that old.

I have never shredded rubber like I did in this car. Dropping the hammer at 4000 is a wonderful feeling. It didn't finally catch traction until I let off the gas entirely, even though I had gone a good 30-40 feet

I actually kinda like Pete's wheels. I think I'd like the dark gray over black. Or maybe some used Bullitts.
