sorry to sound like an *******.....but i think the car is too low, the rims should be bare and the lose the headlight brows. I like the color tho. I also like what you did with hte bumper, to cut out the bars. Not bad

Your car is too low, it doesn't give you any kind of edge being that low. Besides screwing up your car even more than it ever would. Too damn low, you'll bang the hell out of the exhaust manifold/header. Also your setting the camber off way too much. Your going to kill your susspension, tires, and your car. Rase it up fix the front camber, take the eye lids off and your set. You'll have a 1/2 descent car.

your tires will be gone in about a month or so. i suggest a camber kit. i would raise it up a tad since your gonna be bottoming out every where you go. going that low might look "cool" but in the end its gonna mess up more things like your oilpan, dent your header, tear your axle boots. but whatever glad its not my sol

sweet, you cut your valve cover to tune our non-tunable cam gears! just playin. but cover it though, things could get ugly quick if something were to get in there.

good start but i have to agree with most other opinions here. its toooo low to be functional. and the sticker eyebrow things gotta go.

but then agian these are just opnions.


do what you like its your car

Why doesn't he need a camber kit? From the pictures, it looks as though he does. He's still high enough to get a proper alignment.

Also, id get a better header.
