Cool WS.6 crash aftermath! New black rims, paint, WS9 hood... and slammed!

Well, as some of you may recall I had a bad accident with my car months ago... the thread is floating around somewhere.

Here's some quick non-artistic pictures I took after finally getting the rims on. The car is a little dirty and I havn't gotten around to putting some tire shine on yet, but I couldn't resist taking out the camera...

The WS9 hood fitment was amazing (as attested by the body shop manager) and everything else fell into place. The drop was kind of a pain - had to weld on drop-brackets for the LCA's and put in an adjustable panhard rod (heh) and I ended with about 1.8" off the top - I think they sent me Eibach sportlines instead of the pro-kit.

YES, I know the ws.6 badge is on the wrong side - I didn't have the heart to tell the guy after seeing all the amazing work they had done over the past couple of months, so I'll get around to changing it eventually

Thanks again everyone for the kind words Now I just have to order some heads and a bigger cam, especially after watching those damn AMS Evo videos

stang killer: I'm supposed to be doing a little car-washing today, so I'll try to get more pics of the hood - anything specific? Oh, an interesting note - it comes with no baffles in the ram-air section, unlike the GM hood. I thought that was cool when I first noticed it. And maybe its just me, but the WS9 hood also feels lighter than the GM hood if that's possible.

ChevyChad: Thanks - I love your rims
