Sleeper with some 10" Pony R's out back would look sick!

it all depends on the bits and peices IMO

i do personally like stock body panels...all one color (no flames, stripes, ect) and some badass wheels...stock or close to

A rodded out fox is always nice, but a sleeper can be a pile of **** unless it is SUPER clean and looks really stock. In that case i think they're pretty badass.

Everything IWASHMYCAR posted is my exact definition of perfection for fox notches. I've stared at that white one several times while daydreaming about plans for my own white notch. I'd like to add my .02 of how great the Pony R wheels are for sleeper fox cars. When I go 5 lug i'm definitely going that route for my wheels. FR500s are the other route I would highly consider if I wanted an updated look.

i like both, as long as it's done clean and tastefully. the route i'm taking is all black, with cobra kit and chrome 17" Pony R's. 17x8's up front and 17x10's out back.

Sleepers are badass. There's nothing wrong with a nasty looking fox, as long as it is actually nasty. But a fox with drag wheels, slicks, a cowl hood, and 37 gauges that runs 13s is not cool. My car will be semi-sleeper. I was considering keeping the 10 holes, but I couldn't run as big of a tire as I'd like, I'd be giving up a lot of weight, and they're just plain fugly. Other than the wheels it will be 100% stock body.
This is the sickest sleeper fox I've ever seen, and definitely in my top 5 favorites. Stock hoods rule.






It runs 9s. Yeah, that front fr500 is off the ground Just plain badass.


This is hands down the baddest sleeper I've ever seen.

I was kinda leaning toward the sleeper with some Pony R's 17/8's, 17/10's and a new paint job (I think the color is Titanium frost clearcoat metallic "green" over Titanium) which I have only seen 3 other times in 6 years. These pic's are definetly what I want my car to be when it grows up.

I like the idea behind that red coupe, but I think it sounds better than it looks. Car does look good, just not right in my eyes.

The Nova is sickkk just needs a 6-speed that looks like a 4 speed and your all set.
