After seeing 91Niterida's car, I think I will check into some springs. Maybe only about an inch or so though.
My hood is actually a stock fiberglass hood that I had a friend put the scoop on.

Wow dude. That is one nice car. I assume it was originally an RS? I didn't see where you had mentioned what motor you had? I like it with the deleted emblems. Gives it charachter. Awesome car bro!

I polished them tonite, and Black Magiked the tires. Those tires still have alot of tread on them. I'll have to fix that next weekend
I need to get the new springs and struts&shocks in to see if the handling is better. Everyone who's seen em in person says they are sweet.
Even the fourth gen's around here are spinnin' their heads off as I go by!

Oh my Go<x>d... Seriously, yelling Hater completely sends me back to grade school. How old are you guys?
All im saying, Nite, is that you have a great wheel and paint combo on the car, and i think it looks decent, and COULD look really good. Right now though, with wheels that size, it looks like the car is up on stands. My only other criticism would be that if you DONT want to put the emblems back on (i agree, by the way), i would fill in the emblem notch on the front bumper, because it looks unfinished.
All that aside, damn. You seriously need to learn the meaning of the words CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. I dont know how old you are, but im certainly curious as to what you do, because im dying to know if you prance around the world in a work environment with that stupid attitude.

LOL..geez...things sure are getting ugly around here. Not commenting one way or the other on NiteRida's car, but to all you guys who think it looks higher than stock...it isn't. The diameter of the wheel/tire combo he has on there is exactly the same as the stock size (in fact...its 3/10's of an inch less). So those wheels are NOT lifting that car up off the ground. If you think it looks it...its all an optical illusion

Thanks Deemax,
I didnt mean to be rude but it gets a little annoying when people tell you how to build your car....Yes it is an optical illusion ....I thought i needed a drop when i had the 16s but now that i have the 18s,i think it looks perfect...Not to mention,if i did drop it,i would have to get new tires because im rubbing a lil already

And the big difference between you and i is that i recognize that when people politely mention things they THINK i should improve, its CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.
Want to bash my car? Knock yourself out. Im not the one claiming my car is the spitting image of perfection. I know my car has a long way to go, but if it makes you feel better... I wouldnt care to tell you how to build your car. if i was, id have had a lot more to say than it needs to be lowered, LOL.
