Well, just got a goood look at what's being done. It looks pretty much fantastic...no more will the car simply be passed by at shows, written off as a bolt-on monster!

I believe I have a pic up...lessee...



That's the only pic I have right now, unless someone got a pic at Myrtle Beach and never posted it (in all the albums I've seen, there's not a single pic of the rear or interior...3 of exterior and 1 neon pic). Also forgot steering wheel was painted...and that pic is already out of date...screen shows in the corner where there is no more screen.

I have never gotten a negative response except from one of my front desk secretaries. She said it looked like a hurse. But, since I did some stuff to it, she even likes it.
AZTECS are a like it or hate it kinda car...not cruisers

Yeah, I've gotten the hurse comment, too, usually from teenage girls. Sadly, a lot of women who like my cruiser call it "cute". Cute? Volkswagon Beetles are cute. PT Cruisers are cool.

Haha, that's great. Thus far, the reflection has been worst at night. Only once have I gotten any kind of glare during the day. When the road curved, that ended, quickly too. At night, street lights and such REALLY reflect off it, although after one night of driving with it, you get used to it and it doesn't hurt visibility at all.

In the future, it may become more or less of a problem...I don't know yet. We'll find out around Christmas! ...I may even put up "sneak peek" pics as the time draws near.

I get mixed responses when I tell people I'm about to buy one.

One of the attorneys I work with (quite seriously) suggested a $95,000 mercedes when I said I was looking for a new car.

My secretary tells me I'll look like Learch from the Addams family (I'm around 6'2) if I buy a black one.

Overall at work I've actually found more negative than positive comments.

Screw 'em!

Fiance thinks is groovy, and I think it's the coolest thing on four wheels.

Can you afford a 95k Mercedes?
