101813 I lowered the rear to match front at 28-1/4" arch top.  Rear arch tops were 29-3/8" from carport before.  I also have exactly 1/4" gap from tire sidewall at top to straight edge from fender to bulge at 33 psi, my wheels have deeper set.

"Wife Unit" decided "yes" on the hood scoop question, American Muscle shipped it and I did the install.    Looks pretty good IMHO, she certainly likes it.
