Some pics of my 89 LX progress

you should put the tail pipes back on...not having them makes the back of the car look incomplete, imo. you could just do what i did and have them hung back on there but keep them disconnected if you really want it dumped.
 
I was having rubbing issues with the 26x11.50 M/T's with the 5.5 back spacing. I even installed 1/4 Maximum Motorsports spacers. Tried to loosen the clamps to adjust the tail pipes, but they were too crimped to even turn. I think Im going to replace the mufflers anyway with some Dynomax's.
