    I purchased this car a couple of months ago. I sold my Trans Am to get it.

    Well it had a few small dings and some damage to the front fachia. Since it is black thats the first thing I would see. Also I didn't like the I idea that it was the onlt SRT without a scoop.Thats why I hadn't posted about it yet.So after having it for a whole week, into the shop. Ordered a ram air fiberglass hood, fixed the dings, and new paint job. Took over two months thanks to the two hail storms that nailed me, Got my Escort the first time and got my TA while the Escort was being fixed. Well it's finally done (Almost) I went with the stock Brilliant Black. then added some purple, blue, and fushia micro flake (just bigger than metallic).
    Here it is going in for the buffing.

    After buffing, Still needs the fog lamps and a good cleaning and waxing. But I'm on my way out of the country for work again. I'll finish it when I get back in a few weeks. If you notice in the last pic, I painted the SRT on the wheels with red caliper paint.

    Still on the road, be back on the 20th. Finish it then. I had a cracked foglamp on the Maggy, it was gonna run over $100. I just bought some aftermarket foglamps (blue tinted with a halo even). The stock mounting brackets even worked. Total cost about $60. As for a meet any time after the 20th.
