I don't know if it would look good or not. 85-90 style is pretty tame so I imagine it would look good, I would need to see a PS to make a final decision.

I think it would look ok if you blended it all in. If you could tell they were seperate, I would say no.

I like it now. I couldn't quite make it stand out like you wanted it to look. But just to give an idea.

hmm... kinda think for that two tone paint job. I wonder what it would look like all blue, or witht he fx just the same with of two tone paint on the gfx. or... what it would look like as black gfx, that might be cool.

Ever think of the stuff you might hit in the road that would tear these up? Thats the only thing that worries me bout these. lol I hate to see it when a low car scrapes the ground, low car that looks good, not something outrageos.

OH! Your answer! Remote controlled Air bags. If the ground gets low, just hit a button and pump some air into them and raise your car up a bit so you dont scrape up your investment.

wow...looks cool...

That looks like a SCCA style car. That's how the racing IROCs used to look. Actually if you go to the "Old Sales Media" section of the site, check out the IROC race car...I think that's what you are talking about.

When I first saw that car I said " I'm gonna build that."

I think it's harder than it looks.

It looks nice, except until you encounter a sharp incline....

forget the paint on the extension...

Revlimits kit pretty much scrapes the ground. He made extensions. That guy is crazy.
