Aside from the stainless inserts, I hadnt done anything to the Marauder in a while. Well, I knew I was going to be attending several car shows so I decided to add a few items to give the car a lil flash to catch the eye of some judges. So, I added some V8 badges I found on Ebay that Ive liked for a while, I think they look pretty cool, definately a lil different. And then I went ahead and painted the brake calipers, which really sets the car off. Here are a couple pics of the car from one of the shows, I'll get some more this weekend at the Fun Ford show here in Baytown. Let me know what you guys think.

A quick shot of the new exhaust tips.

Nice. Which kit did you use for the calipers? I'm just waiting for a nice sunny day off to do mine. I bought the Duplicolor kit.

Used the duplicolor kit. Took forever but it came out badass. I put on 2 coats and baked each coat with a heat gun. So far they have held up well.

Isn't a V8 call out a little redundant since all engines in the panther series are V8's anyway?

I can remember on at least 5 differant occasions someone asking me if it was a V6 or a V8, so I guess its not that evident

Anyone who would have to ask, is not going to appreciate these cars anyway because they are probably an import guy

I just bought an import, I guess I don't appreciate what I have in the Marauder.........going in the "for sale" section soon. You can't be serious in the statement can you?
