I think it came out very well. I remember seeing your thread on the prep work, I'm glad to see that your car came out nice.

Looks great, nice and clean. And I wasn't sure about the modernized look for the tails but they do look good.

Do you have other plans for the car?

Keep up the good work!!

WTF NO! i had just decided to paint mine black after a month or two of thinking about it, and now you post this. ughhh, maybe i should just get two, one white and one black. Looks nice, assuming you get the bumper alignment solved, the clear turn signals look surprisingly nice too, nice paint!

i'm getting the +35 offset. I gotta figure out what size i want. If the guy i'm trying to buy them from on here gets the shipping quote done i can get them real fast. They're all 17''s.

rim diameter is personal preference, I prefer 17's... you would be hard pressed to run anything wider then an 8" +32 in the front unless you want to deal with rubbing issues.

the rear you can run 9's or 9.5's with no issues with a +35

I had 17x8 +35 with a 235 on the front and a 17x10+35 with a 255 in the rear. The fronts rubbed on the springs and the rear was about 3/16ths from rubbing on the trailing arm. I also had to roll the front fenders a little

your car looks good right now too, but with the wheels it'll look ALOT better,...I had the same S4 TII wheels you have and then put good wheels on my car last week, now it looks SOOOO much better,...it's amazing how much difference wheels make !

Nice car looks good. Modernized tail light and wingless are where its at. I'm surprised no one on here has proposed yet.

Looks great.

Sounds like we have a similar project plan.

I'm building the motor now, shopping for bigger turbos' etc. FMIC is being fabbed now. I've got the body shop scheduled for May, and yes mine should cost a lot more than I'm paying too. I just have to drive to Tulsa for the deal. I wen with Sport MAx 962's staggered.

The only differance is mine is Black.

Your car looks great! build it the way you want it and don't sweat all the free advice you'll get on here.

Rob
