• Tint is 20% all around
Interior
• Factory Saddle interior
• Interior/dash lights replaced with LED
• Gauge POD with Autometer Gauges
Drivetrain
• Blueprint Engine 355 SBC
• 200-4r transmission
• Flowtech Longtube headers
• Dual exhaust from headers back
Suspension
• 2” drop all around
• F-Body 34mm Front sway bar
• Core/Firewall Support Braces
• UMI Performance Rear Shock Tower Brace
• Custom Rear Frame Brace
