Car looks very nice!

Small suggestion, make the yellow wire loom go away. Black would
look much better.

Im not so sure i like it either. I was thinking about doing an orange and yellow thing on my car. I think orange and yellow look good together...but i might change it sometime. i was going to do the calipers in yellow or orange, but am going to do black instead. I think the black and orange only will look nice and clean...not too ricer either.

It looks nice except for the stink bug stance (butt in the air).
I'm guessing you were going for a bit of a rake?

Yeah, i was afraid of those 315's hitting the rear quarters, so i raised it 3 inches with my adjustable spring perches after i lowered it 1.5 with my pro-kit. my friends and i were talking about it the other day, i think im going to lower an inch or so, but im still a bit nervous about it. those tires are big...

Do a search in the "wheels and tires" section on this topic. There are some others on this board running 315s out back.

good looking car.

i think it looks like a 4X4 in the back there..REALLY need to drop that down..you can fit the tires with a bit of work to the inner fender..do a search..it'll be well worth the effort for how pimp the car will look slammed down nice and even on those rims.

I say do something with the calipers,too. Would go nice with the rims..polished or painted or a combo of both..

wow that rear end is up in the air...I have 315's on back, and it does rub so I'll be banging away shortly...it only rubs under heavy turning when all the weight shifts, so I shouldn't have to bang too much.

my wheels and tires are pretty wide. i suppose if you could magically cut off the inner lip on the rear qp it might tuck under there, but im still a bit hesitant about it. i tried searching with little success. what do you do to roll the fenders under? should i take it to a shop? how much? i read something about guys doing it when its warm outside. i could take a torch and heat them up a bit. i just dont want to funk those fenders up cause i just paid to have one of the repainted to fix a scratch. it would prob look mean a hell with an inch os more drop in the rear. you have to see it in person though, it looks pretty damn good right now. im definetely not ashamed to drive it around...
