looks great .... also i second the eibach's (if you can still find them anywhere because they are discontinued, the guys on ebay don't even have them i tried buying from all of them but they all told be they couldn't get them anymore yet they still on posting them. so you might consider RB instead of that) as far as struts go ... i've got the blues and i gotta say they're pretty darn good, ride is responsive, and not as stiff as i thought it would really be.

All that hard work came to a great close for you by the looks of it. It looks fantasttic in the least.

You stole my idea though. =P

I'm thinking the stockers on my '85 might look sharp powdercoated black with the lip cleaned up and shined.

Yeah, sorry to talk about mine, but your's looks god damn awesome. It really sets off the body color with the nice transition.

I gotta somewhat disagree. This FB has the "Don't mess with me look", a 480WHP FB has the "Don't **** with me look"

Just my $0.02

Looks great, I have 5 of those LE wheels that I use for drifting. You have inspired me to buy powder coating outfit and start this process on my car, I want to do so much as far as painting but I hate paint in the engine/suspension/drivetrain areas, it just doesn't look good.
Nice location for the photo shoot! Use a tripod next time and you can get cleaner images.

Best regards

Cool. I don't know if my new wheels I bought from Camocarl are going to need paint or not, so I just want to be prepared... Plus, I'm debating gunmetal or black.
