Re: New Air Ride With Vette wheels
To be honest i didnt take one pic of the install, but it wasnt to bad it is pretty strait forward the hardest part is cutting where the front springs are or upper a-arm would go to keep it out of the bag. Also hiding everything was a challenge to make it look nice. As far as the cost I lucked out and stripped it from another third gen that i bought for 1500 bucks that the guy didnt complete. I actually ended up making 1200 bucks clear, traded the wheels for a AR-15, and I changed my interior out from the other car to all black panels, carpet, and black leather seats. I came out like a fat rat on this deal
. However I think the same system would cost a little over 3000 by the time its bought and completed doing it yourself.

Re: New Air Ride With Vette wheels
One more note a lot of the challenge also is your wheels size i would not reccomend going over a 18-9. The rears im running are a 19-10.5 and they were not fun in the least to get them to fit and also i would say you need to run a forth gen rear to make everything fit better in the rear without spacers. There was a lot of cutting bending and hammering and and they still barly fit. There your many hrs involved just working on that part. Overall i would say there is about 24-32 working hrs on it.

Re: New Air Ride With Vette wheels
Looks great, love the color.
I would also go a little darker on the wheel color.
