Heres 2, ones lowered, and trust me, looks very overdone with stripes.

Thanks enzo, those look hot!

the lowered is exactly what i want, just not sure about lowering with headers, and not using the short d-bones...

I dont think you should have to really worry about it. Is this a ground clearance issue or fitment inside the engine bay??

i don't know why, but the nascar spoiler just does not look as good to me...maybe im just old and crazy though..
Certainly not. Personal style preference. It's your car, your style.


but do you agree that it needs something...else...
Not with all the other stuff on the car. The stripes would be too much.


again, im not a big fan of the grill insert's either... i think the styling of this car stands on it's own! i did buy a plate filler, what do you think, maybe a black bow-tie, with red outline?
I think the plate filler with the black and red bowtie would be a good compromise instead of having the rally stripes.

I have those exact same wheels and went with the red inserts on black 2001 SS and have got lots of compliments on the look. Getting car repainted now so should look even better with new paint.
