something doesn't look right on that....i can't put my finger on it either. maybe it's the wheel gap from the fender.....or maybe it's because the front wheel is turned that it looks weird to me.

it needs to be lowered about 2" in the front now 
I am going to get a pro kit in the next few weeks probably. That should fix the weird look
I'm just happy to get my stockers off, and the ZR1s Ive had over a year on there

thanks for the comments guys! I think I am going to go with the Pro Kit. The Sportline kit would be sweet but I need to drive this car daily, so SOME comfort would be nice

I'm going to merge this with the other thread you posted. No need for a bunch of separate threads for day/night pics of your car
thats not a mecham wing 3.1 eye candy this is a mecham wing. justin do you know what kind of spoiler that is, hey hey , i just though of what spoiler that is, is off an 84 500 le firebird. thats where i saw that wing before. The sportlines arent that bad but i dont drive the car but on the weekends so , the only time you notice the ride is when the road is bumpy , but when the road isnt smooth they ride fine.
heres the mecham wing

I, nor anyone I meet knows what spoiler it is. Some guy speculated it was an in-home business that modeled it AFTER the Mecham wing, but mine is NOT a mecham wing....

I have been looking to get a set of rims like that for mine but only black. I take it you had to use wheel spacers for them to fit? Can you tell me what size spacers you got and where you got them from?

for a 4thgen wheel:
no matter what, you need 2" spacers for the front
for the rear you need either:
2" (drum brake rear)
1.75" (disc rear)
I have 2" in the front and 1.75" in the rear. Mine came from vettebrakes. Cost was almost $400 but thats for the spacers and lugnuts and studs (already pressed in)

very nice formula man, but the pin stripping isnt doin it any justice! and you definitly should lower it, id get the sportline springs instead. itll look very bad then.

I'm always the LAST person to say "you need to lower that car". I love the "high and mighty" look of the formulas, but with those wheels your car deff. needs to be lower then it will look sweet!

Nice car, but, it needs to be lowered, put a Formula wing on it, and those rims do not suit the car at all. Oh yeah, get rid of the striping on the bottom too. Nothing personal though, just my opinion.
