Clean. Can't go wrong with the 95 cobra r. I've got the exact same size. I think 17s look better though.

They look nice on your car. Is it lowered at all. I'm going to lower after i get the wheel on and see how low i need or can go with them on.

do you have a sound clip of your exhaust. I want to put an X pipe on with my 40's.

- i'm up late tonite, but yea, its dropped between 1.5-2" all the way around.
- i say go for the staggered setup for your wheels--> 16x7 or 16x8 for fronts and 16x9 or 16x10 for rear. this so u can run a wider tire on the rear and get more traction.
- no sound or vid clips available yet, soon though.
- yea the x-pipe would sound awesome. my h-pipe is off-road (no cat converters) and it all sounds good. i suggest u get some headers too for a full exhaust. i'm running bbk shorty equal's to a bbk o/r h-pipe to bbk connector tubes to the flowm's dual 40's and finish with turndowns.

did you install the lowering kit yourself? if not how much did it cost u. I'm planning to get headers also, shorty or longtubes best? I really want to hear how it sounds because I'll have a similiar set up. I have my flows turn down also. Is it louder with turn downs?
