Thanks. The car is really coming together for me.
Power: check
Wheels: check
Interior: check (well I need a new head unit, but that'll happen over the winter)
So at this point, I'm starting to think I need a refresh on the paint. I've got 12 years worth of beauty marks and the front end doesn't match, but it never did from the factory thanks to the way they paint our cars seperately, so it's tough to match light pewter mettalic when sprayed sperately.

Do you have any other pics showing the overall stance. I'd like to see it on 19's. I'm having a hard time between 18's and 19's. I looked in the link in your sig and didn't see anything with the CCW's

Looks really nice!
Got a question for you. I am about to get a set of 19x9.5's 38mm. Will these fit on my car with a set of BMR springs with no rubbing or do I need to do the BFH mod to the inner fender well?

Here's my thought. If I plasti-dip them, I can decide if I want to powder coat them without having to remove the tires, and spend $100 wheel only to find out that I liked them better polished. If I like the look, then I can peel the plasti-dip and have them coated.

I can play with color schemes as well as a mixture of powder coated vs. polishing. Like powder coating the inside of the spokes a smoke gray color, but leaving the face of the spokes and the hoops polished. It's better to do it with a temporary solution than to pay to do multiple rounds of powder coating and stripping.

Hey Alch,
Since you have 19x9's in the front...What brand and size tires did you choose? It is really hard to find front 19's to match the rears. I like the 19's look but the tires cant look like rubberbands to me. Some 30's up front do and some dont. yours dont.

I love the wheels on that thing!!
You should try out the Toyo Proxes TQ drag radial. I have over 2 years of daily driving, multiple long highway trips, and a lot of street racing on them. With my cam, bolton, 4.11 9", T56 car they hold up GREAT. I'm actually about to buy a new set this week or next.
