I haven't really seen an FC with TI-5's

Tell me what you think...I like it, but I am all for criticism.

This what she look like as of right now (5/10/2014)...I've done quite a few things in the last 5-6 years since I have owned her.

Rims are TI5 bronze center with neochrome "burnt metal" lip...rim size 18x9.5 + 40mm offset (10mm spacer up front and 20mm spacer in the rear) rockin some Federal Super Steele 595 225/40ZR18 88W rubber.

PBM toe eliminator bushing, trailing arm rear upper bushing, trailing arm front bushing spherical bearing conversion, subframe riser, and solid diff riser. (I took the whole subframe apart and control arm and hand sanded, scraped, blasted everything I could with the amount of money I had and painted with rattle can VHT black header paint good up to 2000* F which it will never see, other than the 3" stainless steel exhaust (which is damn near touching my subframe) might get up to 1200* depending on how rich my tune is)

Luck-10 adjustable camber bar, and rear control arm links. (Pain in the *** for clearance if you are going for a slammed car look...you need to persuade the rear pan upwards to accept these control arm links).

I think I can drop the front a lil bit more...I will need to take out the wheel well cover/splash guard (which I really don't want to do) and I have to work on the rear fitment a lil more, I ended up flaring the rear a lil much thinking I would need clearance, but after all of those bushings a whatnot I still had a bit of camber in the rear. Nothing that the whiteline rear camber eliminator wont fix.

Thanks for lookin

I wish I could find a color close enough to it. I have looked and I am trying to plastidip the emblems.
