In the first picture, it looks like a 70's Toyota Celica sitting next to the Trans Am. 
You don't see those very often.

Yes Jeff, the eyes see all. We also saw that you posted without a word, just 2 quotes. Does that really count?

I think so in this case; Rich's over-sight might cost him a penalty point, too  ;)

Aren't you already on the list? In case you're not: NO SOUP!...1 WEEK!  ;D

Just curious...would you be able to swap out those front lights and recess them in like what they did on the Year One Bandit??



Might take some work but it'd look more refined instead of an afterthought. Or is that how the law states how the turn signals/fog lights need to appear on the car?
