I think you mean 93-96 tail lights vs. 97-02 tail lights.

No I mean the tail as in the ss spoiler. Everyone puts the 98+ ss spoiler. Don't get me wrong it looks bad ***, but to be honest I dig the 97 ss spoiler better, just my preference =).

I like your choice of wheels...very cool! U will love the Proxes T1R rubber is AWESOME. Great traction and they will pull some G's like mad, good luck with the build.

Whatever your preference is, is what you should go with. Your car will also look badass with a 97 ss spoiler.

Like this one =). Now I don't know how good the quality is, but that tail is my favorite.

well the 96-97 SS spoiler do look cool, but i got the 98-02 SS spoiler cause the factory LED third brake light is much nicer.

You can get aftermarket LED for the 96-97 style, but its not a long strip like the 98-02 style which i think looks better because it follows the lines of the rear spoiler design.

I'm fine with the way the stock tail looks. First and foremost I've gotta get home and install all the parts I have waiting for me, then I think once I get a good amount of cash together I'll start from the rear and work my way forward. I've got another set of mods in mind already priced which includes a moser 12 bolt, aluminum DS, and replacing just about every suspension piece on the car.

The car just went into paint today and I only have a week before I'm stateside again. Also I just got an e-mail from Kevin at BMR. My koni's that i thought the order didn't go through on came in so now i have a brand new set of bilsteins to get rid of. Also an update on the price for the paint, $2200 instead of $2500. I'll post pics as soon as i get some.
