Grrrr.


My $.02,I'd like them better if the lips were polished,but they ain't bad looking and they'll certainly stand out in a crowd.
Is that the remains of an F104 next to the left side of your MM? Man,that was the sexiest airplane since the P51 Mustang.The old B58 Hustler's were pretty bada$$ too.The Delta Dart was cool,but not as cool as the F104. What are the old Soviet Bloc planes?

I went back twice and looked at the pics. They're growing on me. They certainly set your car appart from other SBs.

+1 on the suggestion for darker tint on the windows, I think that would be the ****nits!

I think those Gunmetal rims would look best on a DTR.

I believe that is exactly what I said in my post. :confused:

Dark Tint.

You might consider a similar 'gunmetal' treatment to the exhaust tips and the bright window surround.

They are VERY siny, the pics dont do Daves rims any justice. And once again, they are gunmetal, not black........ BIG difference.

I really like those on the SB (especially with the badge less grill and the mach1 lip). It's also so much better without having the lip shinny since it would have made the rims too busy.

I have to say though, those pics SUCK! This is, as far as we know, a one of a kind set up and deserves better quality pics and even close ups. It's hard to see the quality with those pics.

Come on man, hook us up with proper pics!

Opps, being in S. FL, we never get 40* here. In fact, I can only wash my cars after 4-5pm because it's soo hot.

My wrong.

Yup, like I thought and the more I look at them the more I am sure, those are PERFECT for a bad A$$ SB. I don't think they will work well for the other colors but goodness, all I want to do is see more of them on that SB.

I like the wheels fo sho! Are the center caps still chrome by design or can you not get those done in powder coat?

I love the wheels...not so much on the tire selection...ha!

you cant powder coat the centers as they are plastic. only option is to paint

they were powder coated.

I'm generally one of the biggest critics of cosmetic mods to Marauders. Striping on a Marauder, can't stand it. Cobra badges? It's not a bloody Mustang. But, I must confess your wheels give the car a mean look. I like it.
