Thank you all so much. For those asking, the wheels were 429+shipping for the set. Not a bad price at all. I do not have dumps, you just can't see the tips because the previous owner did not take good care of them and they are pretty dirty. I've been meaning to polish them though, they look pretty good, I get complemented on them often even with how dirty they are. I probably won't do blackbird stripes since they would clash with the grandsport stripes, although I like the look. Oh, and Florida is not a 'front plate state', the car already had the front bird removed when I bought it. I'm going to replace it though. As for the drop, I'm going to wait a bit until my exhaust is done and I know for sure how much clearance I need. Thanks again for all of the compliments

Oh and one more thing, you never know where you'll find a good photo op. At first glance the place I chose wouldn't cross anyone's mind, but if the execution is right then anything can be beautiful. Like someone said previously; I promise there is an area not far from you that would be an awesome spot. You just need to know what you want and then find it. I'll try and see if I can get some high-res versions for you guys.

Thanks for the bump I guess, but no one really cares about what you two are fighting about. I appreciate both chaman for sticking up for my unlowered car and Silver02TA for your kind comments earlier, but seriously keep the ****-fest to pms or AIM before my thread gets locked. I realize egos were hurt or something manly like that, but the only two really following the debate are you two. So again, I honestly greatly appreciate your interest and input in my car, but for Christ's sake shut up.

so i guess i'm not "fooling myself or anyone"... lol, i guess you just felt the need to say a cliche?
but if you think 5 inch wheel gaps look good then I'm sorry to hear that, more power to you.
