It was a great day out, even my wife who is not big into cars loved it, the drag racing competition was absolutely fantastic and spending the day with two other Prowler owners is always a big bonus !

But my biggest surprise, my car actually won an award, it took home "Best Hot Rod" trophy .. I was surprised and trilled .. now I can justify to the wife all the money I spent on it

Here I am grinning form ear to ear !!

Thanks to Mike and Kevin for an awesome day ...

The Prowler makes you smile. Why? Because it's focused. It has a plot, a reason for being, a passion. It evokes the hot rod. It evokes the American Dream. This car is the human psyche.

I like that look on your face, a proud Prowler owner.

It looked like you have your front suspension A-arms blacked out. Cool - haven't seen that before (in my VERY limited expierence).

Matt,
Its a 3M mat black wrap, same as used to wrap car bodywork.
Made some paper templates that cover the top and wrap around under, cut the 3M film to the templates then stuck on as per a normal wrap. Heat it up with a heat gun to make it flexible and it sticks like mad.
Took a bit of practice but I was delighted with the result.

Null , it appears your tires/wheels fill up the fenders more so than stock by the pics you posted. Are you running spacers in the rear?

Yeah, the back has spacers, 1.5 inch I think (might be 1.25, can't recall now) .. I really love it, makes a big difference in the look of the back, I love it.

Carlos, I have a confession....

Loved the look your back end so much I have also fitted some spacers, 30 mm (1.25") needed to clear the length of the hub studs for eccentric spacers. The more I looked at the photo above the more I realised I just had to try it.
