Default Winter Transformation Complete!!!

Well, she's finally done. We buttoned up a few odds and ends today and dropped her down off the jack stands.

In previous posts, I mentioned putting on Coy's 5 spoke wheels, but now that I see the finished product, I don't know if I want to. It just looks so good how it is, I don't want to mess it up.

We came up with a good name for it, too: Project B!tch. It certainly fits the car's attitude

I've been waiting on these pics and man does that look great...however, I don't think the coys would be messing it up at all. I say go for it and then post pics again so I can continue to drool.

I'm thinking maybe just a little bit wider tires out back. They're 225's right now and they look kinda scrawny. Maybe something like 255's would fill it out more.

Nice job.

You've done a lot to that car in the last few months and did a great job.

Looks great! If you replace the wheels and want to sell the ones you have on there now, send me a pm! I'd certainly be interested.

Definitely do the Coy's IMO. I think with sidpipes, especially on a rubber bumper C3, you need aftermarket wheels, not that your car doesn't look sweet as it is. Nice transformation.
