Default the 370 with a slightly improved wheel offset (pics)

Before:

After:


Still, i am worried that the downward curve of the rear fender also curves the flat surface of the fender wheel cutout and slightly curves it in making it weird looking even with a more aggressive offset and lower stance.

Maybe one of the aftermarket company's will come out with some clip-on lips to round off the fenders. A lot of pickup trucks have these OEM and they seem to enhance the vehicle. Strange that a sports car would need them.

Nice chop. While you're at it - Can you put a nice body kit on there, along with some decent wheels and suspension? BBK? Maybe some FI? Thx.

I can't believe that I am going to say this but, I think after seeing that pic, I may actually LIKE the headlights.

I really need to see one in person.

Nice photoshot BTW.

Nice. Was planning to do a shop like this myself, but too lazy. Definitely looks much better.
