That... looks... AWESOME!

I'm really feeling the black wheels. It's got me wanting to paint or powdercoat my bogarts black but my car is NBM and might not look good.

besides the fender rolling and BFH mod, do you have to cut down your bumpstops?

A lot of BFH, and sawzall work. I had to cut the fender lips off instead of rolling them. I also cut off the bumpstops. Lots of hammering though. Still had some very slight rub over big bumps, but nothing major.

ls1redz, when i first saw your car, i knew what i wanted. what mods have you've done for fitment? springs/shocks? i love the stance.

i came across powdercoated black tt2's for my black ss for a helluva bargain...couldn't justify the offset of cost for the BS...either way it will look good. i originally wanted to wait at least another year...i wanted your setup but with powdercoated black BS on my black SS on a narrowed rear . i wanted to add my style of twist once i saw yours.

hopefully, GMwright will still cime in

Just beat the inner fender well in and rolled my fenders. These tires actually angle in towards the top giving them some more clearance from the fender wells. I have coilovers up front with 300# springs and QA1s in the rear with stock springs (have a coil cut off each one with heater hose).

Hoosiers w/ BS Streetlites
Just a couple of pics to get the idea, car is going through a makeover this year which a new paint job will be included. Will be getting the lugs powdercoated black like the fronts but Silverghost didn't receive 3/4 shank lugs to be coated, just 1/2 shank. So I have extra's if anybody needs some LOL. Anyways here are the pics:

i am considering doing powder coated black with polished lip

these are 7.5 backspacing, no spacers, no narrowing of the rear.
