    I like it ! Like others said, the rear negative offset is a little bit to much but it fits well with the style of your car.

    Tire and camber specs please.

    I'm also loving the black bumpers.

        considering you can easily fit a 9" wheel running a 235 in the rear, your statement doesn't really make sense.

        that said, this car doesn't do much for me in the looks department. it looks clean though.

                    I think its looks pretty clean only thing I'd recommend is some shadowline.

                        Rear wheels look silly. Rest of the car looks great!

                          I recall that now, but it still looks goofy.

                            I don't how I feel about this car. I understand there was a lot time and money spent putting this car together but, the overall look of the vehicle just doesn't look like right.

                                Thank you! Its like your 2dr's fat assed sister! :p

                                Tires are:
                                Falken ZIEX912 16 205 40's on a 9" up forward
                                Falken FK452 16 215 40's on a 10" back aft

                                The FK452's stretch great, would have loved to run them front and back, but i could not find a FK452 anywhere in the 205 40 16 size.. so i went with the ZIEX. Which stretch good, but a lil too bubbly for me.

                                And the negative camber is 100% natural camber. i'll be welding in a camber kit this summer to increase the rear camber to get the ass a lil lower. I just said camber 4 times.

                                I gave shadowline some thought, but im keeping the chrome trim, trying to refurbish it this summer.
