Looks good with your exterior color. Before you go hacking your stock pieces just look into a set of tubular lower control arms. Founders sells them for the lowest amount. Until you do a mini tub tubular LCA should work fine... If not you would need to look into custom stuff.
There is some good information in this thread: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/fabr...-out-poor.html
I agree with the color combination. The stock LCAs are boxed, and it was really just the flanged portion that needed clearance, so no big deal. If they weren't already boxed I would definitely just buy founders set.
