Good looking, looks almost Foose'ified.
Got pics of it's stance from the rear?
I was thinking about those wheels, in black w/powder coated centers and fitting some turbo-6 logos on them.

Right on brother! The Foose'ified look was my inspiration. I will work on getting some rear end pics taken possibly in the middle of the week.

BTW, not intending to hijack the thread... but have you done anything w/the audio system yet?

Also, I'd love to see some shots of it's stance from both the front and rear if you dont mind. I was actually thinking about those wheels, same ones.

Fast4ward, just something I noticed about the car. Your right rear BF is on in the wrong direction. It needs to be turned around!

Simmons was probably the best after market wheel for this car, shame they went out of business. 235/45ZR17 & 255/40ZR17 is the ideal stance for this car also!

New Custom 3-pcs Weld Racing RT Series

Fronts: Weld Vitesse RT Series 4"x15" (1.75" BS) w/MT Sportsman S/R 26x6.00-15
Rear: Weld Vitesse RT Series 9"x15" (5.5" BS) w/MT ET Street DR's 295/55-R15

These were custom made and currently the only set in the WORLD

I am VERY happy with the results...I wanted to retain the gold theme (the centers are gold anodized) but update to a more modern racing look

Even the stock WS6 center caps fit nicely
