Beast I think in order for that to look good you would need to somehow cover the screw holes and maybe blend it together with the rest of the car otherwise it looks kinda like some bushwackers for a pick up. It could be made to look good though.
But I drive a trailblazer so take that with a grain of salt!

Fixed the 3 broken links.
I agree 100% on the fact that they need molded in. I spaced out and didn't post those pictures. I'm torn between rather I like them or not, seems like it all depends on the angle.

Was racing Jeff B. coming out of Decatur ....3rd and final race, shifter stuck in 4th gear...had to limp her all the way home like that. Rodney @ RPM thinks the 3-4 key is broke....billet no less. Good news is she flies without nitrous.

Nick, I am with you. Some of the angles make it look really sweet. To me it looks more like a Porsche's fenders. But I can't get away from the fact that I just can't see a good looking widened RX-7. I'd just go with as big of a tire you can fit in the stock body, and make it sticky as streetably possible. It doesn't matter if you went wider or not really, with the power you are going to be putting down, you're still going to be spinning well past highway speeds.

All right, for those that care, I try to spare you guys most of my typical day stuff out here in Mississippi, but today was just to cool not to share.
I was planning on flying another formation flight (which are definatly awesome), but because it is such a clear perfect day today for flying down here, the flight commander changed the schedule at the last second and yelled "Lt Strader, you're going to fly a low level flight now! Get your *** moving, you need to be airborne in 20 minutes!" I ran with my instructor pilot out to the plane, finished up the preflight while taxiing, and took off late still.
The sweet thing was that because we were late, we had to fly it as fast as we could to get back on time. The fastest we can fly is 250 knots at that altitude (roughly 325 MPH to put it in perspective). The low level flight was flown at a few hundred feet off the ground. I wish this is something I could put into the typicall CALL911 video for all of you to try to visualize, but I was pretty busy dodging birds and cell phone towers at that altitude (not to mention video or photography is stricly prohibited).
Defintaly the coolest **** I have ever done in my life this far!

Guess I'll go with 26x10.5 or 26x11.5 ET Streets and see how those do for now
Damn, that sounds bad ***!!! To bad you couldn't get video of that, that would have been a hell of a sight to see

Mine did not run all that great but what it should have given the DA. My IATs were pretty high so it was pulling timing too. A couple 12.9X's at 104. The 60 clock was messed up it showed a 1.58 my first pass! More like a 1.78. It was a great turnout this year lots of cars.

That sounds like a blast Ben, I've seen some in cockpit video from flights like that, I can't imagine actually being in control of that.
Nationals was kick ***, though there was a LOT of breakage; the T/F guys got stuck in the queue for like ~3 hours after they set their tune, so the track cooled down and they were all way off on tune (air and track were actually too GOOD, so they (almost) all had tire shake, badly. I'm not used to seeing 5-6 NHRA T/F cars break in a row.
