you have to put the images onto a web server, then you use the html IMG tag just like you would in an html page. Good Luck

You could use something like geocities.com or xoom.com then upload it using their site. Then when you do that you put

*img src="the address to the picture here"*

Replacing the first astric with a "<" and the second with a ">". Put that in your message and the pic will come up on your post.

I love the grill. Actually there isn't one is there right? I would take off the license frame though or straighten it.

Nice. I still think white is a great color for a 'roc. Personally, I would get a 92 Z-28 grille for the front. I think they sell them in white, so you wouldn't even have to paint it.

Tastefully done car, though.

I'am not sure about the backspacing they are zr-1 wheels 9.5 front and 17x11 back. I used a 4th gen rear 4 inches wider so i could bolt on those 11" rims with no spacers. I use the spacers up front 2.5. The front did rub a ltle around turns at 80+ so i raised the front a little. I could of had the front fender underside shaved but i thought the front actualy sat a little to low. With the front know raised a little the car does not rub at any speed. I do have kyb shocks so they help keep the suspenion travel tight. If you are looking for exceptional road grip and awsome handling these wheels and tires are the ticket.

Nice car. I like the fact you have a 4th gen rear end and just installed normal wheels with no adapters.

There is a group purchase of these wheels going on at T. Bryne Motorsports. Follow the link. Tires are included, dont know if he'll do a wheel purchase alone if you dont care for the tires.

Am I the only one who thought this thing was ugly? From the picture it looks like nice paint...don't trick flow specialize in Ford? From the rear, it looks like a dropped 4x4. The wheels in back are way too wide, the tires don't go with the car, the front end needs a grill, and the sticker on the windshield is not necessary. Hood looks like it fits nice though...hardly ever do I see a perfect fit. Need some blackouts in the back as well.

I dont believe it. Someone posts pics of his vehicle that he's proud of and with every right to be because its a damn sharp car and somebodies gotta criticize it. Never fails.

I don't think the wheels can ever be too wide unless they are rubbing against the well or sticking out 5 inches.

Yellowiroc-
Thanks for your elegant insight! Trick flow happens to make a very nice alloy heads that make my iroc run mid 12s all day on just the motor a 350fi. Das edelbrock specilize in ONLY ford because they sell parts for ford and even other cars? As for the wheels being to wide well that only makes this car handle that much better then YOURS! Why am i telling you this you obviously don't care about any performance whether its straight line power or canyon carving handling so why don't you take your opinions some where else, no one here wants your opinion its no good anyway! Thanks to everyone else with your compliments and sugestions. I think i saw a camaro posted here before that might be to your taste yellowiroc, i believe it had cheezy wheels and ridicoulos paint and door flares like a ferrari and yes i believe it had blackouts!

Well ***, I thought everyone could have an opinion. I mean, that was the point of your post, right? To hear what everyone has to say. How often do you think everyone is gonna like your idea. People have different tastes and that's just something you're gonna have to put up with. My car handles fine... why would you need to handle so much better than a stock IROC, are you saying that if I just put wider tires on my car... it'll handle that much better. What a novel concept... why would I need suspension when I can just put on big ugly tires? Why the hell you need to handle so much better than stock is beyond me... you do a lot of racing around corners. I don't like your car, I think it's hideous. I'm not asking you or anyone else to agree. If you don't like what I have to say, too bad little baby. You love the compliments but can't handle the insults. If you were happy with your car, you wouldn't have taken the time to respond to what I had to say.

This post didn't ask whether or not you think this car is hideous. As for an opinion thats fine but calling someones car ugly and to bash it is ridiculous. I happen to race my car 1/4 and this spring i will be racing it on road courses so yeagh i do zip around corners.

Yeah...I like this car too. It has character. This is the first 3rd gen I have
seen that looks good with those 17' rims.

I kinda weary of the rearend however, because
I know that 4th gen rear ends stick out a
little further on our cars. The pictures
are at night time so I really can't tell
how the car looks...but overall it looks
good....and it's fast!

Nice setup. I've got the silver ZR1s with Sumitomo tires. 255/40/17 front and 315/35/17 rear and I love the way it looks. That said.....Yellowiroc is right and everyone is entitled to their opinion. People have seen my car and said the tires were to wide or looked *******; that is there opinion.

Also, wide tire do not always equate to better handling or better drag times.
