I think I spotted you at the Starbucks plaza in Milpitas this morning. I was driving a white Escalade. Anyways, the car looks good. It actually looks lower in person then it does in the pics.

very nice, shadowline, color matched rear inserts and leave it like that

if you can manage to stay right where you are (maybe RPI exhaust) youll avoid the pitfalls of the intense modding that is to come
