No! the hidden shifter adds extra power, its the only way the NOS stickers work on our cars

Yeah. My cousin owns a body shop up north of where I live and Im gonna get him to mix up a color called Midnight Red.

So dark red that it looks black.

What no tue-tone? ;)

I like mine but my color combo is one of the best tue-tone combos. The brow one was a little, uh, off base on these cars. Should look kick ass when you're done. I'm interested to see how that color is going to look on it. Are you keeping the chrome grill or going to a TC header panel?
