Welcome to the nut house.

I liked the stock wheels better. Once lowered, it will look like GreenMachine's car and I think his loook pretty nice.

i like the black on black, but i'm not digging the wide tires. they stick out enough to warrant a la cucaracha horn.

welcome to the money pit.

Yes you will need a camber kit. I recommend doing both front and rear.

drop it. If you like it that is all that matters. If someone knocks your car, tell them to
