Way too much, plus your fender doesn't match and it's missing the molding!

Which molding would you be refering to? - O the paint doesnt match? Painter used black primer- I know it doesnt match- and the side door molding is comin off tomorrow anyway. your car has the wrong spoiler and hawk wheels?- I made something of my Y87- Your car has the wrong motor =P how do u feel about that.

Car requires 18 inch, or a very specific offset 17 to clear the big brake kit in the front- Kinda weird to put 18s in front and 17s in back =)

Dood u are the devil, 29 inch tire is damn enough. =) - I can do less tire, but the 18 stays in the front- surrpised that it was u that said I need less - no one seems to care about the 295-35 in the back- wider than most peoples rears.

+ my ground clearnace is wicked, we off-roaded today at our cruise, I left everyone in total dust.

I got 285/40-18 in the rear. I like the way it looks and i get better ground clearance also

I feel fine cause I get that all the time from my Tech buddies. The side molding that prevents against door dings in yer front plastic fender!! Looks like you need a better body shop, that's all. My car has OEM parts that are perfectly color/material matched, and it was intentional thankyouverymuch. Along with my suspension and brake upgrades too, I can easily hang with these LSx guys in the canyon runs. Plus, an LS1 swap is the last thing I need when I don't have any income, especially in California (smog anyone?).

Excellent. Most people I know have 315s out back, but I still have to agree. hehe. That's why I didn't do a big brake kit (can't use the spare any more).

Yeah if you do the hose mod in the rear and keep the stock isolators it'll raise it up too, if you want!

I saw it and thought the same exact thing. I was like whoa I had a hot wheels car just like that.

I like meaty tires in the rear but smaller rims. pretty cool idea though man if you are happy with it then shoot for the moon.

Ive never got a door ding- and the uppersection of the door hits before the lower for me-

Lul @ smog, My bird is still a Cali car. Ive been doing perfectly legit registration for like 5 years. I did my 3.8 - 5.7 swap for nothin. With no income. So that part is babble =) The suspension mods available to you are the same as everyone else- v8/v6 alike. except Im not sure that you can get a light weight - racing style Kmember can you? So the fact that you can keep up with the canyon racers you race with is kinda sad to them really. =)
