I might add some 1/2" spacers to the rear down the line to push them out a bit more...

I agree, that looks so much better now. FIlls the wheel well up very well and gives it that aggressive muscle car type of stance.


Sorry, but I too didn't care for the wing at first glance. But as its a work inprogress not a problem. Still not my cup of tea but in the last picture it does look better IMO. I do think it only looks good with your color.

Thanks guys. I'm pretty happy (other than the damage from Sears). For brakes, I'm thinking a Baer 13" front and back kit, goes for like 1200 on Ebay. That's for later though, right now, I want to get my blower in and do some chassis stiffening.

Right on man, that looks SO much better!

Dang Sears, that is a total pile of crap... One time they mounted tires on my brothers Subie and cracked 8(!) studs from overtightening them.

Yeah, they won't ever touch my car again there. I talked to the store manager, and I'm going to make them order me two new rear rims, get the tires mounted somewhere that won't trash them, and then I'll be satisfied. I'm not going to stand for brand new gouged up rims. It's BS. I spent alot of money on 'em, I think I deserve for it all to be as good as what I paid for.

Well, I finally got somewhere with Sears. I went in person today, and after being called a liar about the damage, the invoice I supplied, being told that they would hold my car and send the rims for damage, being told that I was being unreasonable for asking them to fix it (their manager is a real C-U-Next-Tuesday), being escorted out by security, going back with more receipts, I got my money. They refused to pay for the shipping, which burns me up, but I never signed a thing saying that I'd bring back the damaged rims. So I'm gonna sell the dinged rears cheap after they are replaced to recoup what I can from this. All I can say is I am disgusted with Sears. The KVNT (you know what I mean) manager basically said "well, from what I'm told, your car isn't perfect anyway, so why does it even matter?" among other things, and was totally disrespectful from sqaure one. She called my father a liar too. Then she refused the shipping when I got back AFTER it was agreed upon. Basically, NEVER GO TO SEARS OF SWANSEA, MA. THEY SUCK!

What a bunch of BS man...like I mentioned earlier my brother had a bad experience there as well. I don't think I will ever take my stang there...BUT at least it sounds like you have it all sorted out now and the rims look SWEET. So just keep that in mind and maybe you can relax and just enjoy the car now.

I still have to order it all, I just got the cash today. I still have to pay a different shop to remount the tires. Sears said they want the old rims back. They can kiss my ass at this point. I'm gonna sell 'em to recoup the cost of shipping they stiffed me on that I get to pay again. I'll be happy when it's all taken care of, it's a daily annoyance to me.

What do you mean? It's a Steeda competition wing if that's what you're asking.
