Wow, looks great. Looks like it pushes the tires right to the edge of your fenders.

new center caps will be puchased. just havent decided what i want yet. arrowhead, GTP, blah blah blah. dunno. it'll be a little bit before i get em.

actually, rather than pissin a bitch fit, most ford guys go "... those fit that thing?" to which i go "yessum"

rails, im workin on dropping it, but it's gonna take a while. the front is at the ride height i like. the back could stand to be lowered a half inch or so, but it costs too much darn money to do that stuff.

and yeah, i was gonna get some SVT badges just to piss with my mustang friends. but then i figured we've got enough fake badging in town (saw an eclipse with a "vtec" badge on it once, man was that funny), so i thought i'd leave the rice to their grainy ways.

thanks so far guys, keep em comin

i think they would look even better if they were black with a silver lip, like if you painted them like your old wheels
the arrowhead or just plain would look best for the centercap
at least imo
anyone that would throw a fit needs to realize they are just wheels

Yeah, that is what I was thinking. The front ride height isn't bad, but the rear is classic GM. I remember how we used to call the guys that didn't lower their Cav's the newest 4x4 of the month.

For the center caps I could just take a fine tip sharpie and write "sucks" next to the little snake.

That or just blank silver ones.

they'll be powdercoated eventually, but the car needs painted first.

i was thinkin about trying to get a mongoos in the background of the center caps with it's mouth around the cobra, but that'd be a little too much work for something no one would notice.

Looks good, and to add to the "fake badging fire" I once saw a GT-R Sunfire Sedan in my town, it was quite the sight.

last october at or JBO meet, a guy showed up with a 2.2 OHV sunfire GT-R with a broke ass body kit and part of a broken 3rd gen eclipse's carbon fiber hood riveted onot to his stock metal hood hahahaha that was a good one. ANd the guy ran his mouth non stop about how great the car was because he rigged together a turbo kit
