Nice! Definitely time to drop that thing, though The shorter rear tire really accentuates the wheel well gap.

To post an image from photobucket, instead of clicking on the direct link, you want to click the box where it says "IMG Code". That will copy the proper code. Then just paste that here. I converted the tags for you this time.

I think the spoiler delete is such a great way to go. If I didnt have the spoiler I currently have (GT500 OEM style), I would also go without. Love that look.

I'm sure DarkFire loves hearing me say this... but that thing looks good (i think) without the drop). Having the rear a little higher than the front is also a good look.

i didnt fill them yet. i used some round domed screws and rubber/teflon washers. actually dont look too bad. but still need to get them filled and repainted soon. if you look close in that last picture you can see the tops of the bolts

WolfKiller...

The explanation of your name also explains to some extent the appearance of your car.

No spoiler... just like Bullitt (the movie and the new edition).

Love it.

Wolf...

I think some 1/4 window louvers or scoops would make that bad boy look even sweeter!!! Have you considered that?

Imagine silver louvers... that thing would look like a Fastback!

+1!
I'd keep the mirrors black to fit in with the lack and silver theme.
