I'm not a fan of lowering a car so I can't comment on that and I think anything more then 18"s are too big. Just one mans opinion. But, it's your ride so do it how you want it. Good luck and welcome to CL.

I like the progress so far.
One question - can you get a better pic of the carbon fibre mirrors? Never seen that on one of these cars. Not sure about it.

Default exhausted

check it out.








and how clean i keep my engine bay always with 169k on a 95



What ya'll think?


installed and now sounds like a real V8 car. Two magnaflow truck racing mufflers. Deleted all four stock mufflers from cat back. quiet when you idle and only heard if you mash on the pedal. Love it.

Btw, after i get back from vegas next week, exhaust will be raised more and will be lowering the car more in the front and rear

Coming along nicely. 18's will get you nice & low.
I don't know if I understood correctly, but space out the rear just enough so it only needs a roll. Don't pull it if it isn't necessary.
I'm sure the exhaust sounds good but the muffler style doesn't suit the look of the car IMHO.

Why did you angled your mufflers like that?
