Thanks Aaron! I'm thinking the front grilles are too much now.

That's exactly what I want to do. Nice front lip! Did you paint one of the radiator slats? or is that a custom bumper?

Do you have champion 8" front and 11.5" rear?

Ari: Yeah I think that painting the front side ducts is too much as well.
The radiator slats are painted techart pieces that fit over the slat.

Just had my car lowered on PSS9's by Arling and Tom over at Lucent. As usual they did a great job across the board.

That sounds about right for the rim width. They are 19's.

I suggest rolling the rear fenders and get 15mm rear and 7mm front spacers. I have the same size Champion rims (different model of course) with 315/235s. makes a big difference in stance...

The guys at Lucent are great. Just a bit too far for me. That's all.

I have an extra set of spacers you can borrow if you want to try them (you have to roll the rears). I'll ship them to you for free. All you need are 20 60mm bolts...

Gregg,

Your car is the reason I'm painting my lower body panels. How wide are your rims? and what's the offset?
