Those 18 inch Boyds look great. Its got Rack and Pinion conversion, VBP front and rear mono springs, and a nice big block under the hood.

Those are some good looking wheels. The tips do mess things up.

It's a nice Vette but the exhaust has to go. I personnaly think that a set of sidepipes would look a LOT better.

I like the rims/tires, and the stance...

BUT:


The ricer "coffee cans" should never have been put on that car. That's sad....


A centered exhaust, ala C5/6, wouldn't have to be such an ugly thing.

Were it a couple narrow rectangular outlets like this, http://www.prostreetonline.com/pso/i...s/VIB-1606.jpgset up license plate area wide, it could come off looking good.

Can't go wrong with the sidepipes.

The ricer pipes are ridiculous, of course, but once the car was completely ruined by the pimp wheels it didn't matter any more.
