sorry, been lacking to update you guys. coils and rear camber arms are installed, wheels and tires are on the car, front i need to install the ball joints for camber, and the car is also going to the body shop tomorrow to flare and pull the rear quarters so the wheels fit how they are supposed to.

currently i just put the wheels on and added crazy camber so i could drive it to one local show, but i havent driven the car since then, so please no negative comments on how the camber looks like shit. its temporary. alot more work to be done within the next few weeks!

Wheels are AG F241 In Red Velvet, Chrome Lips and Hardware 20x10.5 All Around

here are some pix.

Looks really good. Only thing it needs that I would say is some black housing headlights to match the rest of the car. Nice wheel choice. Red on white is always clean.

Looks really clean I would have to agree with the headlights and your set. I got to say though i'm surprised you went with a flat lip and not a step lip. Also are you planning on running air in the future with this clean setup?

If you see the first picture they cut slits and pulled the quarters out and welded extra metal onto it and then body filler just to reshape so it looks like stock. Minimal filled, I just didn't go to bodyshop daily for updates. I only have pix of a few steps.

The body shop is well known for restoring cars and doing custom flares so they know what they are doing!

I'll have pix of it all finished up tomorrow!

im thinking you should look at tinting the front turn signals and the side mirror markers...need a bit more darkness up front to compliment the lights
