Looks sweeeeeeeet! I love black. What percent tint do you have on the side windows and the rear hatch? Also, are those the $30 valve covers from edelbrock? keep up the good work.

I'm pretty sure it's ARRIVED. But if it hasn't yet, then OMG, I can't even imagine how great it will look when it finally "gets there!"

That's definitely an awesome-looking car!

And those wheels... an excellent choice. There are very few aftermarket wheels I'd compliment, but those are fine, very classy.

Nice attention to detail. Amazing what a good combination of well flowing parts can do for a car. The solid roof, wheels and detailed engine bay all add to your nice looking car.

Really like your coolant and windshield washer tanks.

I agree, your car has arrived finally.

Awesome car....how long did it take you to get that tree into the roof and do you find it a little cramped inside? Does it cause a blind spot while driving? j/king...looks great!!!

Are those 18x8, or 18x10 in the front? you have one of the best looking cars in my opinion, up there with the best of the best.

Sorry, could you tell what kind of back spacing you have in the front? if it's 18x10 I'm wondering how those would fit..


Thanks

very nice looking car! definately a mirror finish.

only thing i would have done differently is would have went with a polished or chromed TPI setup as they look so cool. other than that... nice job!

those wheels are hot! if i could have those with black spokes and chrome lip, damn it would look so mean on a clean black car like that. i want black spoked/chrome lip wheels on my irocz

18x8 up front with a nice size lip on the rim you will give that up if you go with the 18x10 which you will have rubbing probs..the biggest you should go is 18x9 but you will have to do some modifications.. and if you are lowering it you will have fender cleareance prob..depends on what look you want and stance ,,,ie lip on rim for a dished look,, lowered look slammed..its up to you

I'm going 17x8 and 17x 10 with a pro kit, will use 4.5 BS in the front and 5.5 BS in the rear. Do you remember what back spacing you used? Can you get those rims in 9" sizes.

Those Intro's are definetly hot!

Thanks
