        Looks clean Matt...yes to the wing, no to the wheels though. If you are wheel shopping for that car, let me know, I know what would look killer on there.

                      Sharp wheels! Is the center section convex or flat? What size wheels did you use; staggered or 18x9.5 all the way around? I looked at rear tire sizes and couldn't find what I was looking for. Not many 305s, not many 295/30 to match the aspect ratio of 275/35 fronts. Pilot sports can be had in 315 but I tried to get those under my last Trans Am and it looked like a 4x4.

                      I could stay with the stock wheels since I found out you can fit 13 inch Wilwoods under the stock 16x8 rims.

                        First mod pictures: Hotchkis 1" front drop springs. Installed both in an hour! I'm pumped about the stance, always thought 3rd gen fronts were way too high compared to the stock rear ride height.









                        LCA's and PHB are next. Waiting to do the caster/camber installation till I get new front struts.
