struggling to find a balance?

heh... i've been through a lot of looks. at least you're enjoying
the car to the max. i'm not feeling the look of the new wheels,
but i think you'll be able to correct that with some slightly different
tire choices.

Just a magna flow custom exhaust. He got me cause he had a better launch.

Few more pics of interior and exhaust pics.

Went with a harness bar instead of a kirks cage cause i didnt want to sacrife passenger leg room and wasnt sure i want to drop that kind of money on a cage yet. If i didnt like this look or feel i could change it up easily.





This is a golf grip crammed inside a pipe.


and the the exhaust...

Personally I liked the stretched look a little more, but the meaty gramlights look good too.

Random question, in your last video what jack are you using? I can't find a decent one that will fit underneath the car with out driving it up ramps.

Looks awesome. I really like the gramlights but the meaty tires cause you to have to sink the wheels too far in. Would look better with a little less meat, more stretch, and maybe a 5mm-10mm spacer.

Yea with this setup of wheels im going with the meaty look. thinking about going 20mm wider tires next time.

If i want to go with the stretched look, i will just take my camber back to -4.5 and throw on the 19's.
