Re: Convertible Photography

Hey Mr. Iroc-Z: First off beautiful car you have there. They are 20x9 running a 245/35/20's. Will probably go up to a 275 in the rear when i replace them, just have to see about cutting or modifying the wheel well lip. Running tokico blues/drop springs w/about 1.2" drop in front and 1.0" drop in rear. No rubbing.

Re: Convertible Photography

Hey 1320B4U,

Where did you get that roll bar on your vert? Do you have any more pics of it? And as far as the installation is it a bolt on or a weld on/

Thanks. Tony.

**Hey Tony: Nice pics. Rollbar is a Hawks part. www.hawksthirdgenparts.com A bit pricey at $500 but imo sets the car off. Third l.e.d breaklight built in and is a straight bolt on installation utilizing the seat belt star bolts. Just have to trim the plastic pieces around where the belts retrack in. I dont' have any more pics unfortunately. Does not affect top up/down mechanism either, but really no structural reinforcement whatsoever.

Re: Convertible Photography

It doesn't look like much right now, body work and paint should be done in a month or so. Details are listed here http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/lt...-underway.html (Ls2/6spd vert underway).
