Car looks good. What's interesting about the hood is that's the second car I've seen on this site with that today, I've never seen that hood prior to today. Looks aggressive, at least its not another WS6 hood, variety is good.

the wheels look fair. zr1's are so 1995.

now the hood. well, everyone wants to be a little unique. but there are two kinds of unique. the first kind is cool unique. the second kind is BWHAHAHA!!!! unique. that hood is the second kind. it's like an otherwise beautiful and sexy woman with a HUGE, OBNOXIOUS BEAK OF A NOSE!!!...it's elephant man ugly.

Figure in shipping with that also bud...104X2+shipping=264 for two tires. I assume your getting this from tirerack. That's also for the cheapest 315 tire on the market...

I didnt do the BFH mod, and Im lowered with some huge BFG's. All cars are different. I did roll my fenders though. Either way, half of our cars are modded to **** anyways, a little more modification shouldnt be a big deal.

Either way, its well worth the look. 9-9.5 inch rear wheels look MF ridiculous.

$132 per tire, for a NEW tire is not bad at all. 275 sumitomos arent that much cheaper.

is that metallic rattle can red on the brakes and the brake pads?

Actually I think with that hood a set of huge M/T rear tires would make it look like
a fast 1/4 mile car.

i think you need a bit more black to flow with the wheels. id buy the blackout kit from ws6store and get rid of the red calipers. they dont match anything on the car. and you cant post pics of that car and not expect to take some s*** for it. its just like guys that post their TA's with double decker spoilers. they arent the norm and people dont like them for that reason. but its your car and you should do what you want to it

The rims look okay. Would look better with 11" in the rear. I would suggest lowering it and ditching that hideous hood though.

Bah. Keep the hood. You already paid all that money for it. Like someone else said, it looks like a rhino. Kinda cool. Kind of obnoxious. But hell, TA's in general are obnoxious in design. Bulgy, fat rear end, bulgy hoods, a lot happening in the front, huge windshield. That's why i think it's funny when people give others **** about TA's. Its like, "dude, the car was designed to be noticed"

The hood was already on when I bought it, LIKE I ALREADY SAID. If I had money, I might have something different. Times are tough. And I got an incredible deal on the rims/tires combo. I coudn't pass it up. So 9.5''s is what they are and what they're gunna be for now.

Who gives a crap, honestly. He was showing off his rims, he didn't ask for opinions on his hood, calipers, etc ,etc. Are you a little slow or something?

That hood is horrible. If its for functionality, im all for it. But if you think that hood LOOKS good, jesus. The rest of the car is gorgeous though, other than the pinstripes. Love the rims. Did you refinish stock WS6 rims or did you just buy some off a CETA?
