Too much grabber blue... we gotta black something else out to get a good balance... maybe the quarter window cover could be black

uncle and i found some hedman headers....

in a store in Indiana....

BACKORDERD!!!!! GAR!!!

2-6 weeks

talking to my parents about maybe possibly getting that spiffy new paint scheme and new body parts (scoop and louvers) installed and getting the rust repaired all the while waiting for them headers. lets see where this goes, because i know i'd need monetary help from my parents for that, and they just bought a 2004 BMW X3....

so who knows... keep ur fingers crossed guys thanks

you could always suggest they sell the X3 and buy a Escape!

I'm sure the escape offers all the convience of the X3 but at a much better price! and then they can give you the difference in money between them for being so smart!
