      Nice looking ground effects, are you going to lower the car any? What about a flat belly pan and a diffuser? Covering the front of the tire is a good move

      As it sits now the car is lowered about 2-3/4 in the front and 2 inches in the back. The splitter is about 5-1/4 inches off the ground and I could lower the front about another 1/2 inch and the rear 3/4 of an inch if needed, but the pic kinda fools your eyes. ( Its pretty low when your standing next to it!) This weekend I am working on the rear bumper and a diffuser but it is very hard to make it look nice and have it fit with the car. There is also an adjustable spoiler in the works. (May sell them if it looks bad ass!)

      I like it all!! I would go a bit lower myself. Get the wheel wheel well lip sitting 1/2 inch from the rim lip and it would look great. Are those 45 series tires?

      The front tires are 275/40-18" and the rears are 285/40-18", I think when I start auto cross and going to track days I will get some BFG Rivals 275/35-18" front and 305/35-18" rears. As for the height I think I will drive it and let the suspension settle a bit before I lower it anymore.

      Good idea.

      Did you extend/lower the rocker panels? The car looks amazing! What color are you thinking?

      I really like it! Lots of hard work there! I also think that staying conservative with the ride height and tire sizes for a while is a wise move. I'd love to build a car that was a low as a GT race car but street driven cars have to have some compromises. Driving a car constantly fearing that body parts are going to hit the road or the tires are going to scrub on something is no fun.

      I agree, leave the ride height where it is so it can be driven without too much worry. Look great.

      Hey guys sorry it took me so long to answer your question, Iv been out in the garage all weekend working on the rear bumper! Yes the rockers are kinda extended, I made them the same shape as the OEM ones but did not tuck them under the car as far, they are about one inch lower then the frame now. The main reason I lowered them was to hide the frame, I hate seeing it sticking out under the car. I also lowered the rear QTRS 3 inches and am incorporating the corners of the rear bumper to match. (pics soon) The color is still up in the air but I am leaning towards that metallic gray that is on the new Mustangs.
