the car is about 75% street, but i dont DD the car, so i only drive it when i want to romp it around town a little,(like 2k miles a year) so why have heavy 17" rims? and yes, i am now running a 2" plenuim spacer on the intake, i talked with MHS nick and was told all a spacer will do is help high rpm power! perfect since that what the car is built for! the intake rubbed the 2" cobra R hood with no spacer!
and i love the race car look! i dont know about where anyone else lives, but there are street cars around here with parashute's, wheelie bars, slicks, ect.. i know a guy the street drives a car with 33" mickey thompson slicks! it's very common around he since we have NO emmision testing!
As far as the California comment, I know SRTHandz was out of line, but there are other people on this site that live in California, including myself, & that comment is kinda offensive. What exactly does that mean, all of us Californians are stupid???
Im from california too
I would install 17-18 inch rims and put the stock hood back on. Then your car should be pleasant to look upon.
It has the look of a car that went back in time to the eighties and adopted the styling of that found in the deepest back-woods country car owners. Mud flaps would be the next mod if you are going in that direction. But hopefully thats not the intended direction that you are going with the car. Otherwise go with 17-18 inch rims and stock hood and that should make it look good again to be honest.
Just an opinion.
honestly guys, i really dont care where you live, and handz just said somthing stupid, so i just said somthing stupid back. ive always gotten along with you two!
the stock hood wont come close to fitting, and ill never go back to 17's
you sound like another person who's never been to a race track, go to one one time, and tell me what you see.....

Been there plenty times as well as racing my Foxes. I see folks with 17-18 inch (some bigger) front tires and a few with weld or drag lite rims in the rear on 15 inch rims for track function ONLY. When they drive away from the track, the 17-18 inch wheels are back on.
But the deep woods country folk with the mud flaps and 8 kids piled in the back and in the trunk do drive away with the 15's on the rear though when they leave the track.
i honeslty dont care if people dont like my car, but have any of you ever been to a race track??? seriously, most 1/4 mile race car have big and little, and cowl hoods?

Whatever your choice. But remember you posted a pic of your car on a public forum for comment so do not get all hurt feelings about things. Its just an opinion. If you like that look and mud flaps and mullets and stuff like that, then whatever.
There's definitely truth to the big wheel thing... I mean when I got my 18" FR500's w/ the DD rears it felt like I lost about 50 HP compared to the 17" stockers. I am sure the jump to 15" wheels is even more significant. However, I can sit and stare at my car all day because I love the look of my wheels.
Damn i thought it was only me! I have a fox - but still. My brother and I both have fox's with similar exhaust mods only, his has stock ponys and mine DD 18" fr500's.... I can chirp 3rd in his car, in mine i can't even chirp 2nd!
