Looks good, Birdman. So, you've gone gansta on us?

You know, I think you need polished aluminum wheels to go with all that chrome.

Birdman the tint looks great.

Max nice to see some 'formal' pictures I like the very first picture best. Looks sharp and suitable for framing.

You are quite correct, I meant "Sport Package"....

Come to think of it, I did get the Perforation Package... at about 400 miles I got the flat tire warning... slowly loosing air... picked up a nail.

Runflats, didn't have to worry there. Local tire shop fixed it for free.

Maybe I did see something about that on the window sticker. "Perforation Package - First Nail is on Us"

Thanks, and yes, I'm kinda mixing up the "Gangsta" and "Mobsta" look for maximum affect!!

That's a GREAT idea, CHROME wheels would looke killer on MINIBIRD wouldn't it!! Hmmmmmmm....

Max,
You should get Max tinted, that would look awesome. I got the entire car (minus windscreen) done in 20% for $125, and he did a great job, took off the door panels to get it nice and deep on the window so the up/down when opening and closing the doors doesn't where it.

I LOVE Max's oak and beige leather interior, NICE!!

Hey Birdman- Yes, I plan to get Max tinted... In CA we can't do the front-side windows at all... But I'll do the rear/hatch area. Did you do your moonroof too?

I'm liking the Tuscan interior! So far 1100+ miles... almost to break-in!

That's a shame. Sparkling Silver/Black Roof looks great with tinted windows.

View from the inside out is very good, it actually helps on the night glare. I will try to take a picture from the inside out. Don't have any from the Mountain MITM event.

Thanks for the comment, next years will be a little different. I enjoy it and the comments/looks as I motor by.

Ok, here is a picture from the inside out the back, for those who asked or are curious.

Your right that is a nice picture of orca the MC. Kasey, did you motor out to MITM or planning on joining the C.O.R.N group next year?

Yes- your SS looks great with the all-tinted windows. Nice blackout on the side markers too!

Don,

I had also wondered how it would look outside your back end from inside the car. That's absolutely amazing. I would have figured it would have been a lot darker.

Thanks for sharing both views.
