Dark Silver/Graphite or a metallic silver. Either one will offset NBM well

May wanna go w/ a platinum like silver or something a lil bit more "bling" oriented to match the rims. Just my opinion. I like a theme to match, and if you did that, it'll not only flash more off the dark NBM, but will show-off the rims a whole lot better too.

Some lowering springs wouldn't hurt, either!

Heard great things about the Eibach setup. Cant remember offhand if it was the Pro or Sport kit, but someone w/ an Fbody can chime in.

yeah man, that thing needs to drop bad. killer looking setup, just need to give it a more aggresive stance with some new springs. i have the eibach sportlines, which have the biggest drop that eibach offers. i rarely have any problems with scrapping or clearance when driving. even my headers and y-pipe clear just fine. you can go with the pro kit though, which is like 1/2" less drop. i think the sportlines are 1.5" lower, and the pro kit is 1" lower than stock.

here's a better shot of how it looks from the angle you shown above


how can i make the pics appear in the post instead of just linking? i cant find it anywhere in th FAQ?
