Looking great, but are ya missin a mirror on the left side? I know I was missing a mirror on my car for a while cuz I hit a turkey, brings back bad memories.
 
haha yup hit the garage wall when i was backing out... haha oh well il get another one off ebay for like 40 bucks.. just gotta wait for the right one to pop up
 
Man, my new one was like $350 for our bimmer, I got one at a dealer cost too.



Car looks great though, it does not detract from the overall looks.

Did you paint those seat tracks? I'm sure no one will see them, but it would make me feel better if it were my car. (That's why it takes me 2 hours to do a 30 minute brake job, I always paint the calipers & rotor hats.)



Car looks great!

im not sure if its new or not, was a used car i bought with 80k miles- the previous owner really didnt do mcuh of anything at all to the car, still had stock plugs/wires etc.. im not sure if he would change the carpet but it seems that way, i haven't seen another fbody with carpet that black so far.

I was in the Novi/Northville area two weeks ago for business. I recognized that silly looking building with the mini-golf place and had lunch at a Chinese restaurant in the shopping center. I think it was called Bamboo something and had pretty good food.



Nice job on the car. :hifive:
