I finally was able to take the car and take a few pictures after purchasing some new wheels. What do you guys think? Suspension will need work as evident in that raked up angle of the car.

I like them.

Drop the suspension at least an inch or two and that will be a nice looking profile. The black wheels will go nicely with the black stripes.

Gives it a kind of Stealth look.

Looks great! Will look ever better once you drop the front a little. Good luck!

Cut 1/2 coil off your front springs and it will be THERE!

Thanks for the kind words guys. The paint will be changed when all is said and done. I will probably delete the stripes and use a more up to date ivy-ish green. Next up is suspension or body work. Not sure which path to take at this point though.
