Thats a good look I need to pick up some of those air bags. Do they lift your car any when yo air them up I think I might want some for when I am riding with a car full of people and the rear end starts saggin and I dont trust air shocks at my power level.

Lookin clean fam! Man you got me motivated! Cleaning my rear up now. Bags looks sweet next to the red shocks. Big Reazon: I got and extra inch of lift when i inflated mine to 20 psi. I keep em at around 10 tho. Thats why I went with mine on the SS cuz I have all the sounds and stuff in the trunk. Needed something to help keep it level... I think I may have a few pics in my SS thread...

Thanks everyone whos been checking out my build sorry ive been absent,but been trying to juggle a few things and the elcos been on the back burner,But i had some extra change so i deceided to order a few parts cause i gotta finish this before this years out.Well anyways ordered my shorty coated headers,battery tray,radaitor cap and valve covers from cfr performance a chrome mastercyclinder cover from jegs and some sparkplug protectors off amazon.I also got lucky and found a mark 8 fan and grand prix bar at the pull a part.As of now everything has been installed except for mark 8 fan i still gotta figure out how im gonna mount it (if ant body has any inexpensive ideas please share).Well after i got everything installed pulled it in the street and punched it well it hesitated the caught and burned rubber for a second before it shot me up the hill screaming like a scolded dog cause it wouldnt change out of first well i limped down the hill and she wouldnt pull in any gear im hoping the loss of trans fluid from my rear sill is the culprit and its just low.Tomorrow im off im gonna go over the transmission and take some pics of everything installed and hopefully i can give yall a burnout vid or at least a pic .O h yeah ordered my front and rear tucked bumpers from ebay seller said they should be here by thursday.
