Definitely some progress man. Think the wheels might be a little too big?

I was thinking the same. Looks like great forward progress for sure, but I'm wondering how those wheels work out during suspension articulation and turning. And they might be a little funky with small brakes.

the back tire there looks like it is 2" too far out, more than rolling the lip, but maybe its the pic. nice looking wheel though.

In that pic he used bigger spacers than I did and no adjustable panhard bar so the adjustment that needs to be done hasnt. His driver side fits perfect.
As for my car the driver side is 1/4" past the fender and thats with the wrong size tires and havnt adjust the panhard bar yet.

I think it would look better if the rear fenders were widened like the sunoco car fenders on 4th gens. I think someone on tgo did widen the rear fenders and it looked really good.

sweetbmx...anything bigger than a sheet of paper is to be avoided at all costs
every body else....thanks guys shes still coming along day by day.
as far as the hood....well i actually like it it looks unique its just enough cowl to clear my motor and unless i find someone (tard) wanting to straight trade for a ram air II hood its staying

It's not my favorite, but I have seen far worse hoods on a 3rd gen Camaro.
