Does anyone know a place in New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, etc. that does custom paint work, and also has some way of previewing the car before anything is done to it? Someone I work with wants to get some custom stuff done to his truck but wants to be able to preview it beforehand. I told him surely there's places that can be able to generate some computer work and do it.

Not sure on a reputable shop to do custom paint, but surely you or your friend know a few people that are competent at Photoshop?

Those steering bump stops are what stops your steering wheel from turning. Once you shorten them you are able to gain more steering angle. Which is better for drifting.

This Z had different wheels, but it did have a Corr sticker on the quarter window. His car was at Elmwood gym last night. I still need to get my car back over there too.

Nothing, Corr was in the process of tuning it, and my x-over flex pipe gave way, when they had it on the dyno. I had to get a straight thru put on, and it is detuned right now.

since i needed tie rods, i went ahead and bought tien inner tie rods and they came with the spacer to increase angle...

so yes, this much angle is achieved with tie rod spacers and cut stops...
