The front of the silver bullet: airdam & front

fenders are Mariah Mode One body package parts; the

hood is a Mariah Naca Duct Hood; the rear fenders are

GTU racing rears; the rear glass was

replaced with a Mariah Hatch & the wing is a custom

version of the Mode 5 Aerowing. 225 & 245/15 tires

are mounted on HRE 8.0 & 10.0 x 15 rims which were

specially black anodized.



The Engine of the Silver bullet is still stock What should i do? i have put over 30,000$ into this car so little money is left for the engine Acutuly i do have an k&N Air filter that is feed through the hood scoop

How long have you had your car, and what's its history?

Oh, ok. I've seen those pictures before on the Mariah catalogue. It's a nice looking car.

You've put $14k into wheels and a body kit (assuming you're factoring in the original purchase price)? That seems very pricey.

The body has a custom paint job the wing is custom all the interior is custom. note that the hood is seprate from the bodykit and the hatch is purchased seprate also the shipping cost from califonia to colorado and not to mention that the upkeep is pricey too. to conclude i bought over 4 diffrent kits. so you wondered why its so expensive!
