see i think the opposite i like the color break up and i think honestly saints engine bay is cleaner than mine.....and warrens i know will be cleaner than mine but i thank your for the nice comments skip....saint when your ready to put in work on that rear let me know im down to help u.

color break up is cool, just would thought it would be easier to do chrome than to match the orange on the outside of the car...

i got ya makes sense...

What's up fellas??

So today was a good day...got out of work early and hit up the big dogg "Ace tha Repp" and Ohhhhhh yea got me some gears!!!

Man I don't know what I was waiting for!!!! It feels so good...u can of course feel a better take off, and the burning rubber feels good...I was at the stop light and when it turned green I punched it and hear a hole lot of tires spinning and smoke in the air!!!! Good feeling..

So alot of peeps were telling me to get certain gears...I went with 3.73gears since I'm a street type of guy, don't really care for freeways and if I do get on freeway I know gas will suck and will be at sort of high Rpms, it's all good tho, like I said I don't drive fad and very rare I hop on freeways, so what's done is done and I'm happy...

Ace got all u need to put in those posi and gear units, he made look so easy...did it in 2 hrs for $230 and once again I'm loving it it it it it it it it it!!!! So happy!!!!
