that looks amazing! I love the stance and the seats are awesome. How much did it cost to have them recovered like that? Also with the springs, how much do they lower the car and how's the ride quality... significantly rougher than before?

I was trying to figure out why I just don't quite like it even though it seems well done, and why it doesn't look lowered. Then your post smacked me in the face.

To each his own, as long as you (and the rest of the board) like it.

I think its PPG ( Bright Red) with 100 coats of wax haha

I bought it used, and it had been repainted from white, so I do not know. When I have it repainted in the future I want to add a little orange in the red and make it really bright. Almost General Lee color. Yet that will change 100 times from here and then.

Hmm will have to check it out on level ground.

I think the reason it might not look lowered is because I have a 20" wheel on the back with a 30 series tire, and a 19" on the front. This actully raises the car up a little over an 16,17,18"wheel.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. It doesn't look as low because your wheels are HUGE. I don't like that look, to me anything bigger than 17's looks like it's all wheel, and that big is just screaming it. That, however, is just my honest opinion. As I said before, the important thing is that you like how it looks (and rides), but apparently I'm the only one who doesn't.
Keep in mind that your speedometer is off with a bigger overall rear diameter, unless you have something to correct it, just thought I'd let you know in case it's something you didn't think about.

From what I can see the interior looks awesome.

I really like the looks of your car even though I wouldn't go with that large of wheels. Next mod I would do if I were you would be brakes. With all that wheel space you need some 13" rotors.
