Looks good. Are you the original owner?
Also, does the tire stretch look similar with that tire setup, or does the front look more stretched than the rear?

thanks. i am the original owner. i think the front is a little more stretched. front: 19x8 w/ 215/35 rear: 19x8.5 w/ 235/35
the front needed a little more stretch, i would rub like crazy with my michelin ps2 (225/35 in the front).

I love the pics, vehicle, and location. You are truly a dedicated 1gen member. My props to you. I love the clear rear bumper lenses.

its pretty much done. i'd love to turbo, but living in CA makes that a pipe dream. i stressed too much when i was running the toyo header/ y-pipe and the LMS CAI (neither were CARB EO'd).
if anything, redo my suspension and another set of wheels.
