I'll see once it's lowered and has it's new shoes on. Unfortunately I am at that point again where I am like "Now what?"

Hopefully I won't wreck the damn thing lol.

IMHO, two ways to go w black. Murdered out or contrast with brushed/chromed/polished parts. Get the wheels on and see what it looks like. Hard to beat Livewires on any car...

Personally I would go with the contrast look...especially if you ordered the wheels in natural finish. It will be more timeless and be much easier to sell when the day comes!

I knew if I went black I would have to contrast it with the brushed wheels, but this will be sort of a mixture. I love the way the front end looks all black with just a hint of chrome and headlights. So I will get a black chin spoiler and black out the grill. Maybe leave the chrome around the grill at first to see how it looks.

I have not studdied the 2nd gens a lot...well that's not totally true as I've always loved them since I was a kid...the neighbor had a killer red w/ white stripe and white interior 70 r/S....I loved that car!

My thought is that if you are going to run the chin spoiler then you need the larger of the tow rear spoilers....but that's just the way I think! If you want a cleaner look - then no front spoiler and the one piece rear spoiler...which that look has grown on me.

Not yet lol.

Idk, they took the final payment a few days ago and he said they would ship when they were paid for but I haven't gotten a tracking number. Tried to call today but they were closed.

Paint job looks great. Get those wheels on there and you'll be one happy camper. Oh, and post some more pics!
