This is what the car looks like to date. I have 50mm wheel spacers wrapped with 18 inch sportmaxx 006. up front they sit on 215/35 tires and the back sits on 245/40 tires. front wheels are 7 1/2 inches wide and the rear wheels are 10 1/2 inches wide. I removed the lower front grill and huge hidious bumber both front and back. Every light on the car works now. I'm soon to install 265/35s on the rear and 225/35s on the front. The exhaust is the stock manifold to downpipe, then 36 inches of 3inch with a Thrush Welded muffler and a turn down. *****I NEED YOUR OPINIONS. I HAVE ASKED EVERYONE I KNOW WHAT COLOR THEY THINK WOULD LOOK BEST.. AND MOST SAID BLACK. Black car, black wheels, black tent. idk it might look good, but another choice is silver with black tint and black wheels. I WOULD GREATLY APRECIATE IT IF YALL WOULD HELP.  JUST CLICK THE POLE!!!

Dude, glad to see this thing is coming along! I finally got my own car to put up here, go take a look if you want. Man, it's much different than what it was when you first put it up.

I think he forgot about Cardomain, much to the glee of the rest of us. My mother might buy a B4C, and if she does, she'll give me the new Saturn and I'll fix the squeaky pully and sell it for a good chunk, then I'll be ever closer to get her old Camaro...
