Thanks guys! The hood, though on the car when I purchased it, is aftermarket. It's a bit higher than my '01's OE WS6 hood. It is functional.
I measured side-skirt heights against my buddies '98 TA to check if it was lowered. The fronts are at the same height, the rear is 1" lower. I do have a sub box with amp and dual 8's, which weighs a bit. I assume that is causing the rear sag.
The rear tires are 315/35R17 Nitto's.

Great Pics! We got to get both of ours clean up at the same time and take a couple! My bigger question is who is taking the pics when we go down to the track in a couple of weeks.... Does that awesome camera do vids do?
Shame for the rain tonight, oh well just gives you another reason to wash it. Its been a long time coming. And for anyone who doesn't know this car has been sick and off the road from last summer to this last past Sunday.

Previous owner had it done, the car also came with HP Racing HPR5's that were beat to **** so I replaced them with VMR VB3's. I'd love to go, but I won't be running my car. I can't afford if something were to go wrong with it being my daily lol If I get this job I applied for I will have some more money to play, but I'll probably save up for a 12-bolt or a 9" and a nice drive shaft first, next comes the heads and cam lol

After leaning over his car I know what its supposd to look like. lolMy car cleaned...
Washed polished, shot with a normal Kodac Camera 6mp, nothing special...
Uploaded with ImageShack.usYet another....
Uploaded with ImageShack.usAnd what my Shitty
rear end look liked before I redid the pipes. Still have the flow master but I put dual out pics from a Vette on the end. It fills it out so much better. Ill edit this post tomorrow with what my rear looks like now. This is a bad pic.
Like said you don't have much to worry about. Your not pushing to much power yet. If your to scared Ill take it down the track, but I think it would be cool for all 3 of us to meet up there, and have a mini fbody soot out!
Steve.

Nah, mine has the regular high rise Trans Am wing. From what I've read, the company that makes the high rise LED 3rd brake like the OP has, only makes them at random and sells out quickly. I need to stumble upon one...

Yah I was reading the LED tail post here a couple years ago and picked one up. I've heard they are a pain to acquire like you said. At least this brand, which works great!
