It looks like a Hot Wheels car...you can decide if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Sure can, I keep the doors greased so I don't scratch the paint.
Thanks for your compliment

Looks good but a better view is necessary.

The work looks first rate! The fender 'flares' appear to be ample.

I don't think I would do it because it would make resale even harder but I think it looks very cool & unique. Lower it!!

**I'm sure if you pay attention to people you'll see tons of people mouthing the words, "holy sh-t!!" when they look at your car.

Maybe a tad bit overboard, but the car does look good.

Thanks guys, It really looks more balanced than the pictures show. I now have the ZR1 carbon ground affect on it. The dish is 6 inch's on 20 by 14 inch rims, fronts are 19 by 10.5 w/ 3.5 inch dish. I just attended a show where Chip Foose was the guest and he thought it looked good, he said it caught his eye when I rolled in and had to check it out.

Sorry, not to my taste. Good news is it's your car and if you like it then that is all that really matters. For a point of reference, I pretty much don't like anything Chip Foose has ever done either.
