"Are you crazy, is that your problem?" lol
Thanks for the drops tony, I am liking 2 inches but how would clearance be with 2 and then maybe even a 3 inch drop? I drive my car daily so speed bumps are a concern. :( Since i dont have a lot of money i was looking at protouringFbody's kit, says it drops the car 1.5-2" not a lot unfortunatly.
Also if you would like to remove the side trim that would be fine, im really trying to get some good ideas. You can look at pictures of other peoples cars all day but looking at ones own is best i believe.
The strip makes it retro man! I am really having a difficult time with where i want to go body wise but i figure workign on the suspension and drivetrain is the best way to start.
Thanks again!

when i first saw this i thought it was too much but over the course of a day it is REALLY growing on me, maybe different rims but i love the lack of signals and LOWness of it. Makes it look more like a sports car than it already does Originally Posted by TonyL

Looks great, but anymore than 2 inches and you may have problems or clearance issues w/bumps, lumps, and especially driveways that angle up/down. I have to back in/pull out of my driveway w/my 80 TA....

Shave the door handles, throw in some race seats, and pull off the blue line and paint it a nice pearl white with a nice staggered wheel setup that ride would be bitchin!

Keep the stripe, lose the trim, shave the marker lights & add a rear spoiler. Then I think you'll be looking right.
