Exactly what i was going to say. at first i was iffy about hearing the colors but then the pictures loaded and it looked really good. the car is really clean and pulls off the color scheme really well. cant wait to see what it looks like when its complete in your eyes

as for the offsets, the fronts are +43mm and rears +24mm, the rims are 3pc so take off 30 bolts on each rim and centers fall out, and yeh its time consuming.

thanks guys for the comments.

That car would look 100x better if it were lowered and you got rid of the ricer decals on the bottom of the car. The wheels and stripes look good, just lose the sticker HP mods. Quick and dirty Photoshop:



Now THAT looks like a kick-*** car, easily magazine quality stuff.

I just liked the gray, it ties in well with the interior, and kept the car from being too black. Perhaps my thinking was wrong. lol

cool, well at least decals are an easy fix. i'll consider taking them off.

I had some Eibachs Pro's ready to put on, but heard people talk about rears being too soft, so i traded 'em to pay part of the labor cost for heads/cam done a month ago. I will buy some again, probably Hotchkis or the Ground Control setup.

I highly recommend the Hotchkis springs if you wish to keep the factory ride quality. I've had them on three different cars now. they also "settle" a little more in about a year, and get lower.
