Thank you guys.
Gonna get all the odds and ends buttoned up tomorrow hopefully.
Now I'm thinking that as much as I don't want to it really needs to be lowered a little.
That and I'm starting to rethink the wheels. I love the style but shiny might work better... Hmm lol

Oh, and we're going back and forth, she thinks I should do the headlight buckets flat black again. I'm not so sure

I say definitely go for some shiny wheels - maybe some TT2s or ZR1s. I'm on the fence about the headlight buckets. Get some black construction paper and lay it on there to see how it might look.

i was kinda thinkin the same about the head lights...what are you doing for a grill?

normally id say PAINT THEM!!!! but with that paint scheme it will break it up wear the flames atract your attention now you dont notice they arent painted and they would look stuck on if you did i think anyway.

That's what I'm thinking.
Not planning on doing anything for a grill. Just leaving what's there. I suppose if I did the headlight buckets black I'd do the grill too but otherwise I'll most likely just leave it. Anyone feel like playing with Photoshop?

As for the wheels I want to clean up what's on there and see how they look shiny again lol. Don't really want tt2's or zr1's. Too common. Want something different. Maybe the same style in chrome/polished, or some other brightly polished wheel. I'd love a set of ccw's but they definitely don't fit this cars self imposed budget

If anyone has anything shiny they'd like to trade I'm open to discussion

I'll give you a shiny quarter for them

If it had a couple thousand shiny friends of the same size along with it I'd consider it lol

Honestly, we don't really like any of the aftermarket hoods enough to want to spend the money on them. It was a concious decision to leave the stocker on there.

Worst case, if we ever decide we find one we like it really wouldn't be that big of a deal to blend some flames back into the fenders
