Looks very nice...can't go wrong with that much black

I especially like how simple it looks...no crazy hood, no crazy wing, no crazy graphics or stripes, nice stance. All i would do if it were mine is put some tail pipes on it.

Looks awesome. What kind of Five lug swap did you use? Did you go discs or still have drums in the back?

That answers my question on how my car would look with smoked headlights


I was debating FR500's too..but anthractite. I like how the color changes in the sunlight

I love the 17"-18" combo, I was thinking of doing that myself.

The stock hood FTW.

So sick. Stock body LXs (expecially black) rule. That Chevy hood will ruin the car imo.

Sweet looking car. You got the wheel/tire setup and the stance perfect. I second keeping the stock hood. The car looks so clean right now. don't clutter it up with a cowl hood...

they should fit... it has a lot to do with the brand of tire too...

mine clear with plenty of room. the other weekend i packed everything i have in the car and drove it 850 miles to connecticut and even with a full tank of gas and hitting the bump stops it did fine...

I don't think you could of gone wrong with an 18 inch rim up front as well. But your setup looks good regardless. I realize the point of the 17inch up front was for a certain look though.
