Fill in where the mouldings were and it would look 100xs better.

Looks mean as hell. I bet it rides rougher than mine, and bottoms out easily.

What did you use to drop the suspension? how does it ride, what about curbs and speedbumps?

Tell me more about what you have done molding the front. Progress pics of the body work would be great. Nice job.

Bet not. Maybe he got his hands on a set of King springs from down under.

I like it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also agree with FcDrifter about filling in the rest of those body lines.

Any way your car looks great do you have more pics.

hi all

glad u all like it. I def like it too.

unfortunately it was done in ps...i asked a pro to do the 'chop' to see what it would look like before i actually went ahead and did it

so the side strips will be coming off....and white lights will be going on (i dunno how difficult to source)

wheel chop is just a bit too low...maybe just 17" and rb kit

Man, did I ever get fooled on that one. Good job on the chop. I agree, the fender creases need to go.

all i can say is, wow. That is a really good look. The clear lenses, you can get through dan atkins. As for the rest, i love it. Good PS for whoever did that for you, excellent job.
