Sorry, I can't give camera suggestions if I can't criticize your car.

I love the engine bay. Did you happen to have your car at a shop in new brunswick a few times? Close to what used to be Malouf Ford? And a pontiac dealer?

lilbill97 · 05-21-2009, 09:53 AM

Not with it looking like this. You might have seen it with the swirlies and a type r wing. But that's with the previous owner. I haven't had it out a lot.

lilbill97 · 05-21-2009, 09:59 AM

Where are you located in jersey?

94AccordSedan · 05-22-2009, 01:12 PM

Glad to see you got rid of the shocker sticker. It looks promising.

p.s Is that Pool Noodle Hood Prop made by SEARCH?

Im in the Rahway/Woodbridge area. I recently met a luder here for the first time. Nice guy. He had an auto lude, and couldnt believe the difference in acceleration between auto and manual..

Afesposi · 05-23-2009, 01:09 PM
