thank you, i like it a lot! though my real concern is that being a drag car, hopefully it will not crush a bumper when it will be coming down....

How are all the fenders fitting with the aftermarket hood and trunk. Seems from the early photos that there are some body gaps.

Big difference from the original pic! Looks different in a good way. I'm thinking you may need wheel spacers in order for the wheels to align somewhat with the wide nature of the body kit? Good luck with the project! :-)

The body etc, is pretty badazz. I am not sure I am diggin the wheels, though. I dont know whether it just needs spacers, a drastic deepdish in back, or something more muscular to go with the body? I think the widebody can be one of the neatest/ best looking things you can do to a car, but to make it look correct, the wheels need to sit flush, and not inside of the wheelwells. If you used some type of aftermarket wheels with the offset of the 94-04, it would push it out further, but I dont know if you could find them large enough?
Im sure the drop will help with the look, but at least throw on some spacers.

ndgoalie35, they fit pretty good now, but that is because body kit was modified to fit the car, as I stated earlier, body shop spent 130 hours just fitting it...

PONYRAGE, I will have a different set of wheels made specifically for my car so it fit right in with this new kit

CopNaStang, are you talking about the new wheels I am planning on getting (Nutek)? Or the ones that are currently on the car?

Cant go wrong with carbon fiber and flat black body kit is nice but I think the wheel wels are a bit too high. Those wheels are sick though and thanks for the info on nutek didnt not know that.

I hope you make the right choice for wheels, the wheels offset and size will make or break a widebody kit.

Looking forward to seeing this done.
