Wow, I'm honored to get this many votes given how cool the competition is! If you like turbos and sleepers, go visit my build thread and check it out.
You know, October is my birthday month so that makes being part of this extra special for me. Thanks!

I love the wheels Alphius has and those fogs and headlight wipers (I love subtle mods) that ags18 has are sick!, but I think the recent release of the Star Wars trailer made me sway towards the Storm Trooper look of kcowles.

All 3 of them are looking great really.
