Nice to see more pics...I like those wheels too. Just curious, why the backwards vinyl letters on the right side? Just being creative, or didn't want to mess with your logo design? Either way looks good

i wanted it to look flush. it was my sponsor's idea. it wouldn't have looked good the other way. Kinda made me sad but it still looks good. Thank you for the compliment. my rims sponsor hooked me up with the rims for real cheap with tires.

ya you know i gots to tint, black out tail lights, and the blue underglow i have sittin in my closet. lol. Anyways, as for the sponsorships, one of my best friends sells rims, tires, and some accessories and he sponsored my whole car club. Also the graphics sponsor I met off of Myspace. He was barely starting his decal, graphix company about 2 years ago and offered the sponsorship to us. I accepted and we went over details. Now he is opening up a performance, body, accessories, and audio shop so he will now own 2 locations. I have helped him out with promoting his business and now he is growin big time. Check out http://www.midnightunerz.com and the Wright Signs tab will take you to his web site. I can't wait til the end of this month because we will have a full ride sponsorship with some him and get discounts on major stuff.

i got pissed when the girl stood on my car. i was taking other pix and then noticed that. i was fine with the girls sitting but the heals hurt me!!!! Next time, we are going to make a hidden platform where the girls can stand on. 2 of our other show cars had some dents too. the orange tib in the background and the white celica had a heal scratch. but thats what modeling is about though. uniqueness. but NO MORE ON TOP OF CARS!!! I ALREADY TOLD THE GIRLS.

Looks way better. And as far as what you said about not wanting the performance yet, take it from me, you can throw on all the parts they make for the vibe outside of forced induction, and you will still be getting passed by a minivan filled with a soccer team.

i have had several opinions as to what i should wrap it with. I was thinking Blue carbon fiber vinyl wrap on the inside and a grey suede on the outside but i dont know if that would look bad with the suede. any suggestions?

Added interior neons and dome 8 bulb LED's. had to modify the dome light mount a bit to fit the led's.still working on the bracket for the TV but its all wired up to the playstation and everything functions perfectly with a 400w power inverter.Crappy pix taken from a car show i attended in feb.cut out some CF sticker into the front bumper dart emblemmy 2 first place awards i have gotten so far.
