Default Automan's GS BEFORE & AFTER

Some of you may have already seen pics of what my car looked like before I put it in the shop but for those just tuning in I will include a before pic and some new after pics as well. Thanks for all the suggestions thus far. I never knew there was a difference between the 98 and the 01 tail lights. People seem to think that they will make a world of difference so there may be an upgrade there soon. Let me know what you think?

BEFORE.........

I tell you what guys some may not like it but everywhere I go people want to come over and see this car. I spend 30 minutes at the gas station everytime I go.

Yeah I am going to do something with the trunk but I think I am going to let my bank account rebound for awhile before doing anything else.

Yes the doors are from Decah, Creative Customs took a blank SUV hinge and drill it to fit my car because of the weight of the doors. It has held up great so far no complaints about the doors.

The trunk TV is a 10" Directed TV that normally goes in a flip down but they took the TV out and built the enclosure for it.

No I didn't do it myself. Creative Customs did it for me I am still amazed at how it turned out. It looks like quite a bit of work. Thanks for the compliment and good luck with your ride!
