What springs is it sitting on?

Nice looking ride though...black is a pain in the a$$ to keep clean. I hardly drive the car and mine is dusty and crappy. Ughhh!

It has coil-over's. Black is a pain in the ass to keep clean - This will luckily be kept in a heated garage with a cover on it.

Thanks man. It will be pretty cool I think once it gets finished. It's taken long enough.

i dont know about this car not really my cup of tea... 96 up tails? WTF!!! i hate them tails and a vert without a wing looks so plain... but the paint is so purrrdy!!!! i like where it could go that rear spoiler would look great i want it for my car. Do you vert owners like your cars i got my 93 vert thinking i would love it and i dont i hate verts now!

I think the 94-95 tails look very outdated. The new lights completely changed the look of the rear. The stock wing looks cheesy and dripped water all over the bumper after it was washed.

Edit - The spoiler is in great condition and if you want it I'll give it to you cheap.

I normally don't like wingless sn95 verts but for some reason I love it, then I realized it's because the skirts are off. Leave them off and put some 94-95 euro tails on (the ones with the amber bottom)

Why the **** would I take off the new tail lights that I just paid $250 for and put on some cheap eBay ricer ****? Sorry if I'm coming across as a dick but that seems absurd.

Yeah, euro tails would be a step back from even the 96-98 ones imo...The car looks great, extremely clean. I love the wheels, and if the wheel centers were darker it would be even more sweet tits.

If I had it to do over I would have got the brushed aluminum finish. The sample pics I got from DPE made the finish I got (platinum graphite) look more like a gray/black powdercoat. Oh well, I think they turned out OK.

damn, love those wheels!!! they look very aggressive and race-inspired!

you should really look into that xenon wing--mainly so you can test it out for Nacho and I as we're both considering it, hehehe.

Looks great! I've been waiting to see those wheels on your car. It looks VERY clean, and if it wasn't for the pinch welds on the sides of the car I think you could pull off the side-skirt less look.

I too think the wheels would look that much better if they were darker, but they still look good either way.

I can't wait to see the finished product!

Thanks guys. I was a little pissed when I got the wheels in after I saw the finish wasn't really what I had expected. The problem was I had already waited 6 weeks to get them in so I wasn't going to wait any longer. After the car is all done and I drive it for a while, I may send the wheels in to be powder coated.

Looks awesome. I like the wheels and brakes combo! Our cars sure do have long overhang. I never quite realized that,

Thanks. The brakes took a while to find. I still have to work something out with the rear caliper.

very clean. i like it. i had my wing off for a while but it just didn't look right without it. then i got this one, but that was on my 1996 and the guy wouldn't buy the car without it, so i had to give it up

i love my vert. i would never go back to a coupe.
