But with this single pic...i've just added them to my wish list. Almost ALL side skirts kill our car in my opinion because they make the car's body look too tall compared to the roof. Which makes the whole car look cheap or bulky over-all. I'll be running a similar set up as I have the origin wide over fenders as well..just a different front bumper,...same stock rear w/a diffusor.. and i'm looking for the right gt wing
Thanks alot man! That means alot coming from you

I was thinking of going with the burnout side skirts, but exactly as you said I think they do make the car look a bit tall and bulky. Plus they wont fit quite right with how the Origin rear over fender`s come down and meet the skirt, would almost force me to mold them in.

Im thinking maybe just a simple feed skirt and rear diffuser will be on my list this summer, if I still have cash left from the swap.

Btw, awesome build thread so far, cant wait to see your car up and running

ooh, looking good. Just curious how much lower you can go in the rear without rubbing on the top of the wheel well? I`m running into that problem right now. Any lower and my wheel well is resting on the tire lol.

I got a new lens for my camera recently, decided it was time to take some decent pics of my FD. It still needs a lot of work (I did put combo lights on it since these were taken), slowly but surely its getting there.

Bought the ol' lady a new camera for Christmas, finally figured I'd take it out and put it to use. Spent a good majority of the day washing and waxing it, and heres the final product.
My first attempt at editing, tried the whole black/white background with the saturated color... sorry, I know some people don't like that.
