Carl is right.. the pic is from SS-6. Unfortunately, the car is still down. I'm doing the rear-end and contemplating my brake upgrade at the moment. I was just playing around to see what the car would look like with 17"s and it isn't to bad. I'm thinking some nice 15"s for track use, and 17"s for a little BLING.. BLING!

Bern,

I agree the car looks great! What is SS-6? Where do I get a hood and wing like those? And, which brake upgrade are you considering?

As always, the nice comments from fellow 1st gen'ers are always appreciated!!!

SS-6 = SevenStock-6

Guys: both the wing and hood are custom pieces thought of by myself and my friends at Mariah Motorsports

I'm sure if you call them and let them know you want the same parts, they'll make them for you. Just tell them that you want the parts just like on Berny's 7. The drawback as always is $$.... but if enough folks really want them, they might actually start manufacturing the parts and the prices would come down. I do know that Mantis, on this forum, and the boys at CP Racing, are also offering similar production parts.

On the brake upgrade, I'm still looking. I need something that will fit under 15" wheels. The 7s-Only package is great, but after I test fit my wheels, they didn't quite fit.... I'm leaning to a OEM T-II type upgrade. We'll see... God willing and if I get the bucks... I'll have it done by SS-7!

Cheers,

-Bern
