[Redlyne_jr]

[thinmyster]

wingless only looks good on widebody's with the pp engine lid ala ek9max on stock bodied cars it looks gross.

[Errol.]

Wingless looks weird.

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l107/suprame/fdxgjhy.jpg

[JKL@STRD]

nice build :thumbsup: keep the on wing for sure!!!

[Joe-G]

You should totally copy Rhys's car. lol
It was technically his car anyways haha...jk

[Reggie@MWDesign]

^^^

do your own style man.

i understand you like how rhys or ryans car looks like, but do your own thing to be unique.

i would be pretty pissed if someone kept asking me or copying what i do to my car to there own.


but keep the build goinggg.

[suprame]

Okay I'll do something different. Thanks Reggie. And I dunno if anyone noticed but ryans pins arent in the location that they are in that pic I moved em over the headlights. And I guess that's what I'm gonna do :devil:

[Reggie@MWDesign]

sick man!
keep it original!

You say the car's been around the block, have you touched the maintenance side of things yet?
