Yea I know what you mean, I just hate black wheels and stuff on non black cars. I will be adding some white stripes in the near future to switch things up.

You have two things going on here and I agree... somewhat.

The Cervini is too tall IMO as well. Looks OK from the side but funky from the back.
It fattens your already too fat rear end overall...errrr. I mean the rear end of your car.
Then your skirt is big as well, there is a lot of real Estate from the tail lights to the bottom of said skirt.
I used to have that Cervini spoiler but stayed on the car less than a week because it just didn't work for me at all.
The smaller Street Scene took its place and it's not coming off.
In your case, I'm sure you still have the factory holes from the original pedestal spoiler so it's a bit of a project to go with a SS or CDC duck tail for obvious reasons.


Thor, that new hood works well with your front end.

I totally agree, and even from the side throws the line of the car off...it simply looks "stuck" on.
Love that color you got going on Thor! Sweet ride.

^+2. But that is one great looking ride, Thor. Now that the exterior is done, you can focus on the interior!

Looks great. Not the biggest fan of the headlights but they're not that noticeable. Thought about a drop?

Dropping it is out of the question. I already scrape the front bumper and side exhaust on every major incline/decline/ non smooth road lol.

haha yeah I know what you mean. I even scrape my classic chin sometimes and I'm on stock springs/shocks/struts but the dropped look is killer
