Now all it needs are some LED lights around the turbo hole so you can see when it eats birds going down the track
LOL I'd hate to get a finger stuck in there
And yes that hood looks bad *** on that car, that is definitely the one I am going with.

With your wheel setup, are your shocks and springs in their stock location, or are you running relocated coil overs? I am wanting to go 15x12 on my wheels but "stock suspension" on my shocks and springs. Any pics of your setup would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad

I run stock type shocks and coil over springs, I will be running a 315 60 15 on a 15x12.
I am waiting on my rear end to mount the lower part of the shock and move the lower spring mounts and add the upper spring mounts, which fit in the stock locations but are moved slightly over inside.
In the first pic you can see the coil over spring in the stock location, 2nd pic is with the spring moved inside, 3rd pic shows the top of the stock shock relocated and you can see the spring and shock sticking out, when I move the mounts in on the bottom, mount the upper spring mount, everything will sit behind the frame / tub. 4th pic is some one's LCA bracket narrowed I forgot who's it was. 5th pic is offset lca in stock location and moved in.
I went 17" on my tub from fender lip, I also moved my lower control arms in and have 16.5" from the lower control arm to the fender lip. Only reason I didn't go more is because I am keeping my back seat in the car and that is the most I could go, if I wasn't I would have mounted the lower control arms in more and ran coil overs, but the way it is I should be able to tuck a 315 60 15 on a 15x12 1.25-1.5" from the outside fender which will leave me .75-1.0" of clearance between the LCA and section of the tire.
Do you have to use all the stock mounting locations?
If so you can tub it 16" fender lip to tub leave the shock in the stock locations, run the coil over springs and then a lot of guys will move the LCA all the way inside of the factory bracket, some run a 1" bar to get an extra 1/4" of clearance and then narrow the LCA bracket, but you won't be able to tuck the tire as much because the lca will have less clearance, mine are relocated which gained me 2.25" of clearance where the were located with offset LCA's in the stock location.
