Back in an F-body, time for a turbo!

[OVRKILL]

The inner fenders is where it rubs, not the outer (right now anyways) if I get a thick adapter then I'll have to worry about rolling the fenders.

Got a roller if you need one Mike....dont think we're too far from each other.

Any consideration into a BMR 1" lowering A-arm? Might as well do it with the turbo K-member!

I love the lowering a arms but I feel the money could be spent elsewhere.

I may take you up on the offer. Thanks Brent

Side note, I love the color of these wheels.


I'm going to look at a set of 10 spokes tomorrow. I want a full set so I won't be driving on my Dr's all summer.

I have been so busy at work I haven't had much time to do anything with her :/

Today I whistlered the headlights and cleared the lenses. I think it turned out pretty nice. I still need to silicone them back together.

One sanded down ready for clear. Before and after




One painted, one ready for paint




Ready for clear




Cleared




Ready to go back together





I think i have a problem



I picked up the 10 spokes off of craigslist for $150, each one has a crack in it maybe 1/2" long, I'm not sure what he did. I'll have a guy at work weld them back up.



Thinking of going with this color of wheels.

Wow, that whole car is

[nascarnate326]

why are you not putting the widened 10 spokes on?

They will be going on. I don't want to bfh my inner fenders so I need some spacers and longer studs first. Also I don't want to be dding on drag radials.

Hey Michael,
Just wanted to also extend a powder coating offer to you! We can now powder coat, so if you'd rather do that to your wheels over paint let me know and I can get you some excellent pricing!!

Shoot me a quote I will sandblast the wheels. [MENTION=393]Superman09[/MENTION]

Those headlights are going to look cherry

Before-




After-





I'll probably tint the parking lights and I'm leaning more and more to filling the grill holes on the bumper and putting mesh behind the holes. I'll probably paint it black too like [MENTION=1554]WMCC Nick[/MENTION] 's.

Also I jacked the car up to check for bad balljoints or tie rod ends. My right front tire is worn on the outside. I'm guessing just a bad alignment. I don't want to mess up the new tires.

If it were me id get an SLP bowtie grille.... Unless youre thinking ahead for the turbos with that idea.

I do like the slp grill but again, an expense I can avoid while still making the bumper look good. And I'm realllly hoping I won't have to cut the bumper to get more airflow to the intercooler but I'm afraid I will have to.

[white97z28]

looking real good mike!!

[WMCC Nick]

Looking nice Mike! The grill should look awesome. Yours should stand out with the black, very few people notice mine being on a dark car.

I like my 98 better with the grille insert removed
