headlights are from 50resto..they're the smoked cobra lights...cost a pretty penny..but dont leak. n look great...as for the wheels..i bought those last february before i got my car out for the season..and once summer hit i went to one of the local shows..and boom..first time i ever saw black chrome..i was ticked lol...if only i had waited a couple months i woulda seen them..my dream wheels are black chrome fr500s...but the ones i got now are basically new...so unless someone offered me almost what i payed for them..minus tires..im just stickin with them for now..

Looks great!

Instead of a drop you should just throw some real meaty tires on there. I've actually always kinda liked the old muscle cars that sat up fairly high but had beastly wheels.

haha ya ur DD and MJR's both are pretty sweet lookin..u got him on the lowered part tho..hes got u on the exhaust..anyway..ya i thought about cuttin them..but i have a feeling cut springs on the roads where i live would not be good...theres a couple roads..mainly the ones that lead to my house(figures)..that are rough as hell..there old concrete ones that have broken up and are shifted n its just rediculus..i gotta drive slow now with my car..but probably in the next short while ill start buyin suspension stuff..gonna be the tokico HP series shocks/struts, H&R Super Sport springs, X2 balljoints, and then i actually had a couple questions but ill probably put up a new thread when it gets closer to buying time..but its about the cc plates, n lower control arms..
