I'm not a fan of those rims with that car but perhaps the buildup will win me over

rims are OK but not on that car. the onlyt wat he can get away with it is if he opens up the wheel wells in the back. i have the same kit i couldnt fit anyrthing bigger than 15s on mine then i trashed it. now its just sitting there witing for me to rip the roof off of it

theres so many pics i dont know if it was read that this thread needs to be moved to the in-progress section. sorry for posting this usless post but i just wanted to make it clear so i dont get in troble. i was not thinking of getting started on this project anytime soon but i kinda fell into it and started fabing up stuff and it is ready for paint now so i decided to turn this thread into a in-progress thread. thanks.
