well i got it all cleaned up and got the viper alarm and window tint done yesterday. the tint is 20% all around im pretty pleased with it i wanted to go 15% but i just stayed with 20. me and my dad also lowered it over christmas break. got some v6 springs from mw66nova and cut them. im probably going to lower the back a little more maybe a quarter to half inch. but im waiting to get the new wheels on it and see how they look then ill decide how much lower i want to go.

 

heres a pic of the front and you can see i did the widemouth mod. i just did a quick job on it but im getting the whole car repainted soon so let me know if i should keep the mod or not.

 

heres a picture of how low the front is. it scrubs on just about everything. and those are the clear side markers i made. those wheels will soon be gone and replaced with 17 inch chrome iroc wheels the 85-87 style.

 

and the wheels...

Image removed- Please read the rules. Thanks.

 

nice. Those wheels will look real good on it!

 

Looks awsome man, how many inches did it lower it? really looks awsome, good job!

 

nice =) how did you make your side markers clear?

 

the widemouth looks good , i like it , i dont think you should do it with semi , i think gloss would look better .

 

hurry up and put those wheels on there i cant wait to see it!

 

Wow I like everything you've done so far it looks great.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it will look much better if you keep the stock iroc wheels and polish them up real nice and paint the inserts like stock. I'm just not a big fan of chrome especially on the iroc's since they're so common.

Overall it's real nice.

 

Looking good bro. Keep it up dude!!

 

thanks for the compliments guys i really appreciate it. ive got a bunch of work and money put into this car and hopefully when i get it painted it will bring all that hard work and creativity out a little. right now it is kinda embarrising to put the pics on the site b/c of how bad the paint is but hopefully that will be solved soon enough.

18inchboyds ya i agree the gloss might look better i just did that to get a feel for it and to see if i liked it or not. im still trying to decide if i will keep it once its repainted.

unklechuckles19 i wanted to lower it about 2 1/2 inches from the worn out iroc springs stance b/c i wanted the tire as close to the fenderwell as possible and i did that but the tire hit the inner fenderwell over every bump. so i put springraisers in each side. i think it still lowered it an inch and a half to two inches though. and im very pleased with the ride quality still, it takes turns alot better being low theres not as much body roll.

TheBandit i took the old yellow ones out and cut all the top part off of it (all the yellow) then got it as smooth as possible and took flourescent light covering and epoxied it together. its not perfect but it beats paying $50 for em from hawks.

 

ohhh i see how you did that.. i might mess around with that thx

 

looks good, thats my favorite stock color. Can't wait to see those 17's. fender gap looks real nice.

 

i need those wheels on my Iroc-Z

the stock 15" Irocs are sick looking

 

BlueZee28 buy em them man they would look real nice polished and they would look great polished on a car b/c no one ever does anything with these wheels they all get the 85-87 style ones. i would have bought the 88-90 irocs in 17's if they sold them.

 

how much do you want for the stock wheels i might want them

 

Nice like to see some pics of the car too . i use the 18" crome irocs on my car and it looks great

 

What kinda paintjob are you going with?

 

i like the stance, looking good, nice to be low huh. lol keep up the good work

 

again thanks for the compliments guys. i just got back from the bahamas today so i havent been able to reply.

z28z34man i dont know make me an offer.

the swede ya your car looks amazing very nice job

KonArtist im just going to paint it the stock color probably i havent really decided yet. im not going to change the color b/c i really like the maroon but i might put some candy in it or maybe some very very suttle airbrushing.

ssean92 thanks alot man ya i really like the look and ride of the new springs hows your 6-speed coming?

 

lookin good mike! can't wait till you get the wheels on the car...you coming to the meeting saturday at the peach outlet mall? what tires did you decide to go with?

i'll be talking with you about how much you want for those stock wheels too...i may be interested since i sold my others...

 

is that meeting this saturday? like the 7th? ill probably make it. ive done a bunch of stuff to my car so id like to take it to a show but i really would like the get the new wheels on it first.

 

how much did you pay for those wheels anyways? i was looking into buying some 17" single line Irocs, probably polished...

but before i buy wheels i gotta paint it first.
