Im also thinking i will lower the front of the car 1/2" to make the wheel well gap a little less. I cant lower the car in the rear without rolling the fenders. (i only have 1/2" clearance in the rear because of the 275's...and i dont particularly want to roll the fenders)

Awesome car - looks like a new car - :thumbup: What kind of RWHP gains do you think you will see with the engine/exhaust upgrades?

Cool project. Your Celsior is really clean. Do you mean Colossus?

PureDrifter 05-28-08 10:45 AM

please dont JUST lower the front, the car will look retarded...

i cant believe you're willing to consider supercharging and all that but wont roll the rear fenders :uh:

KilaWombat 05-28-08 10:51 AM

Where did you get the double din kit & price?

PureDrifter 05-28-08 11:01 AM

1/2 an inch lower in the front wont make the car look retarded...it will just make the wheel well gap a bit smaller which will make the car look like it has a proper stance...right now it looks too high in the front end (i swapped the front coil springs and they are a bit taller then the ones that came out)

reieved these parts yesterday:

- Battery Box
- Strut brace



I was thinking of removing the factory CD changer and trim from the right side of the trunk...the battery box should fit nicely. then i will just make some custom trim to make it look "finished". (the box is stainless...it just has a white protective film on it)
