Looks pretty cool! Is that the stock height?

I just can't get over the way the color flows, white-yellow-red-white-yellow-white. Very nice, I wish I could say my baja looked that good (scratches everywhere) but wheb you use it it should have scratches.

be careful with alumium parts.ifyour in a wreck where the knuckle is supposed to break now, the arm will. it kind of never ends. make sure you replace most of the plastic now with aluminum now (when they break). very nice color flow too. giving me ideas for my stadium. good luck and tell your boy to stay off the walls.
