What do you think?

I had the bumper strips and bumperettes removed. These are still steel bumpers. I also attached an underhood pic. What do you guys think?

Looks good except the only person who can see the scan master would have to sit in the back seat. But you have enough gauges up high enough to monitor knock etc. Looks very clean, engine bay looks good with the red.

The dash was in it when I got it. I do have the directions. Doesn't look to simple.

The rims are 15X8 Centerline Telstars with Mickey Thompson drag radials, 275/60/R15

Thanks for all the responses. It's really nice to hear fellow Buick guys appreciate the car.

I just order the exact same dash, and I have auto drags with MT's that are the same size so it's great to see what they will look like on the car....sort of. haha. REALLY nice ride man. I'm impressed.

I certainly will. Poston says 3 weeks on the dash shipping so it will be this time next month before I can update on it. As for Supras, love them, just not much like supra forums at the moment.

I actually like the look of the clean bumpers. I would have never thought the bare bumper would look that clean... Very nice...
