car looks pretty sweet IMO.....'cept for the ghetto wing. but hey, it was put on for a reason right? and only single exhaust? but the flame shooting out of it makes up for it, lol.

That wing is required in the rules by Grand AM. and single exhaust makes more power....oh and you want flames....you have to buy a full motec engine management system and build a 3rotor P-Port making over 450whp.

Since each "hex bolt" in each crest in the headrests is nothing more than decoys and is actually molded into the plastic piece, this is highly unlikely. Don't wear baseball caps and then lean back into the logos.
