The mini ceta looks really good on the car i think if you black out the taillights it would look really mean from the back.

I believe the rears are 275/60s. One of the things I would do is trim the new radiator shroud ends. From the back corner on the radiator side I would cut diagonally towards the front to get rid of the height change. The outside edge being lower than the middle part bows the piece of metal.

I usually like the ls1 ws6 better than the lt1 firerbirds, but I gotta give you mad props on this car man, it looks simple but real menacing, perfect tire & wheel combo.

In the last two pictures you posted you can see what I am talking about. You made that piece to hold the filter / radiator support that I am guessing was supposed to be flat. Where you attached it to the top piece of the body it changes levels as it goes across the car from left to right. It is low, high in the middle, and then levels out again. I think the piece you made is too long (horizontally / fender to fender direction) That when you screwed it down it bowed the metal making it into an upside down U.

I think you should trim from the rear corners (rear as in where it holds the radiator) forward (towards where it is attached) diagonally to make it more V shaped. That should make the piece mount flat.

I can mod your pictures, but I think that should be clear. That's the only thing I would do to it other than reroute the fuel lines and tuck the wires.

I want to do the the fuel line relo mod...but i don't have fender liners on my car. Is there anyway i can cut the lines down and reinstall the stock fittings? Like heat plastic up some and slip it over and add a hose clamp or something?
