No speed parts. Just some Eibach sportlines to make it look a little lower. I wanted to keep it as mechanically stock as possible. I know that sounds dumb, but everyday driveability is important to me, and every time I make performance mods to my cars I get annoyed by the extra noise in the car while driving for long stretches on the highway and stuff like that. I think I'm turning into an old fart.

I don't think it's ugly personally. With a lower spring and some 18 inch wheels, I think it would be one nice looking ride. Very nice workmanship BTW. 8 grand is too much for me unfortunatley, but I do like the look and have no doubts that there are guys out there willing to fork out the cash. 200 hours is alot of man hours, but would think that you could cut alot of time out the second time around. The first time doing anything other than screwing always takes twice as long.

I've actually always though a New Edge chopped and inch or so would look perfect. Props for doing something different but still (IMO) tasteful, but I can't see the cost ever being worth it to me....

I took a lot of before and during photos, but never got around to the after photos, which I know is stupid when I'm asked for your opinions. Here's a side shot without the glass or upper sail panel, but at least you can see the profile. Looks better with the glass.

The seats are there, but only my kids would fit in them. With the change of form comes some loss of function. I was worried about the front buckets, but didn't even think about the rear. Not really a good family car, but neither is one with 600hp.
