Yea, I was concerned about the reflection/glare also. But I like the look so much I decided to give it a try. Once I get some some driving at night time I will have a better idea how annoying it is or isn't! LOL So I want to update with more pics but it is soooo frustrating trying to get them to load correctly. It just seems random when they want to post sideways or not. Can load the pic 30 times and maybe get it properly oriented. Even tried to rotate it first but it goes back sideways! Anyway here is a brief list of the cars mods. I started out with a 95' Jeep w/4.0 that I was going to use for a 4.0/AW4 swap. It was going to be an intro into hot rodding for one of my teenage sons. But of course they both got into imports so I decided to play with it for myself. As I have stated I always dreamt of an SC/360 but they are just too rare and expensive. I love my Toyota daily drivers for build quality and drivability so I decided to blend Toyota with AMC! Actually have a little Ford in there too! OOPS! Car has: 4.0 liter Lexus 1UZ with VVTI (variable valve timing) 300 horse/brand new crate motor A750 5spd Toyota automatic controlled with a Compushift computer-shifted with a Tundra sequential shifter New AMC-1 gas tank with Tanks inc electric fuel pump AMC20 rear with a nice 2 piece AMX Twin Grip 3.15 ratio-new brakes Toyota Prius electric power steering w/new Borgeson 16:1 quick ratio box Dakota Digital VHX electronic gauges 2012 Mustang 13" front brakes 2012 Mustang leather seats Front suspension all rebuilt stock Full dual exhaust with Walker Dynomax Ultra Flo SS mufflers This has been a fun build. Still have lots of wiring to finalize. I have been just doing quite a bit of temporary wiring to test drive then will finalize it when everything proves worthy! I have only driven it up and down my street a handful of times. But it is very promising. It starts like any new car. Drives pretty sweet and is very, very quick so far.

Hi Frank, yes this is the car! I didn't know you were on here. This car has transformed a little over the last 8 months!
