I like the wheels... but you need to lower the front more and eliminate some of that gap

i've designed the entire audio system to be modular so i can remove the whole system in about 30 minutes... im working on putting all the amps and wiring on quick disconnects and terminal disconects so i can make the time even faster... as for the widebody weight... im incredibly sensitive to weight and am currently 2820 plus however much the roll cage weighs... which is about 500 lbs lighter than a stock track... i'll get it reweighed when the cage is done(need the rear cross bars some gusseting and the harness hoops still)

as for half assing it... im doing all the work myself and i leave for many months at a time routinely(navy)... it's just a matter of time

i also have a vq37vhr to swap into it when i get the ecu and harness and such... again. stuff just takes time

I hear you on stuff taking time- I started working on my car before I left for my last deployment, haven't started back up just yet. Not sure what to do really, I want more power but I also know that I want my car to look better- right now, I'm considering a kit for the car, but don't want to go thru the *** pain of painting it so I'm stuck with trying to find an already painted silver front and rear bumper.
