Looks nice. But I think that body kit needs some big wheels to set off the headlights and the kit.

God I wish I had your car.

I agreee bigger rims would definitely do it justice.. Ever consider Black bullits with the silver ring? But maan oh man do those give a mean stance for the cat from the front end. Beautiful!

Hey, thanks guys.  Yeah, I've been thinking about black bullets since I saw those grey ones on Will's car at Cat Jam 2003.  Thing is, I have to get a bunch of other stuff done before I get around to the five-lug conversion.  Zach put these wheels up for sale a year ago and I wanted to try them out for a while.  They just bolt right on without any modification and they give it a different look.  I'll run these rims for a few years before I get around to the whole 5-lug and disc brake conversion thing.

Can I have your cat? :)

I also agree you need some bigger rims to balance the look of your ride.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

They look awsome! My monitor here at work is really contrasted so I can't see what everyone else is saying about getting the bigger wheels. From where I'm sitting I see all black (can't differentiate between the car and the tires) and it looks mean as hell. Although I think I would consider painting the lug nuts black. They look kind of weird to me but then again it could be this monitor. Have to check when I get home.

Okay, I see it now. Bigger wheels probably would be better. I like the design of those though a little better than the bullitt wheels. I know it's the old 80's look but it's just cool to see something different. Just my :2c:

That car is so  shagy, the headlights really set her off too...I wish I could see her with my own eyes though. Gonna actually bring her to CJ this year?
