Well, I haven't updated this site in quite a while, but I felt that now would be a good time, since the car is looking better than ever, and is about to receive a couple of go-fast parts to make it even better. . .

Currently, the car is stock. Kind of. The performance modifications are still limited to a Flowmaster 80 Series muffler in place of the stock muffler, exiting through the stock tips. However, I haven't left the car alone completely, as I'm nearing my completion of the exterior appearance modifications. . .

The car is lowered about 1.5"-2" with the help of an Eibach Pro-Kit suspension lowering kit. I installed this last summer, and I'm just getting around to updating my site. Pictures below. The rims that are on the car are from a 1998 Corvette, they are chrome "Wagon Wheels," as people call them. The rubber is Falken 452 series, 275/40/ZR18 out back and 245/45/ZR17 in the front. The stock Formula taillights have been shot with a couple of coats of VHT NightShades and a coat of Clear, as have the corner lights, to create that "Blacked-Out" look, and I'm pleased with the results. I've installed a set of fog lights in the front bumper vents, although I want to eventually replace the front bumper with that from a Trans Am, swapping the Trans Am foglights with it.

Tinted windows may come later, but for now, I don't need any help attracting the wrong kind of attention, as I'm a 20-something who drives a bright red sports car that is soon to be given some much-needed loud pipes. (hint hint)

I am a minimalist kind of guy, so the exterior is going to retain the simple look it has currently, and I'm actually tempted to remove the "Formula V8" decal from the rear bumper to make the car a little more stealthy, but I haven't convinced myself to do it yet.

Well, enough with my mindless chatter, here are some pictures! These were all taken within the last couple of weeks, so they are representative of what the car looks like now. I hope you enjoy, and as always, please leave any comments, suggestions, or ideas in my GuestBook, as I love to get feedback on my car! Thanks for looking!

yo bro wus up..hows it going..i'm kind of in a dilemma...the rear rims won't fit on my car for some reason..i dont know what do...i have the same corvette rims as yours......but the center of the rim is slight smaller on the corvette rims...i was told to shave some off the center...but its weird becuase i though that the rims would just slide right on with no problem...did you have a problem with your rims mounting on your car?
