Hey, if you're just wanting to throw money away I'll give you my paypal account and you can just throw it my way. Don't buy one of those. They are nothing but crap.

good to see that you changed it. Most people on this forum will pass you off as a ricer and won't give you the time of day with your questions if you have that monstrosity as your avitar

If the turbonator did anything at all, don't you think we'd all own one who want more power from our cars?

With some of the questions you have been asking lately, I think it's time we sat down and had a long rotary chat to bring you up to speed. PM me with your phone # and a prefered time to call.

I you can't get your car up to St Joe, I can probably find time to come down and look at it.

I saw your thread title, and thought it was some sort of play on words, and was going to be a turbo post. How disappointing...... :P

I'm guessing that purple FB that everyone hates for some reason on this fourm, I think its because that car had a big whale tail or something, I personally liked that car and who ever built it put a ton of work to it.

WHAT!!!

Come on people, it doesnt matter if you like it or not, that is a very nice clean looking FB. If you dont like it you atleast have to have respect for the person that put all that hard work and time into making that!

That is a project that doesnt happen over night. I am not a fan of the widebody look, but that doesnt stop me from telling like trochoid, and Dan. That it looks great!

I wish I could put that much hard work and time into my FB, like they did.

Nubs, JEEZ

Hey, anybody know where I can get that kit?? JK, don't kill me!

That's seriously pretty close to what I plan on doing to mine, only I'm not a fan of that type of wing. I'm thinkin I want the lip style spoiler, but a very similar widebody kit.
