Its a Black Widow 2 bodykit, with the stock V6 rear. Someone backed into me 3 weeks after I got it painted and tore it to hell because it is Fiberglass. I am going to replace the front with a Cobra front, rear with a GT rear, and leave the sides.

I got them on tonight. They look really good, I cant take pics because its cold and dark out there. Will snap some tomorrow. Only prob I have not is that I need to get my car re-aligned due to vibration and it pulling to one side with these larger rims.

Hey hey... one step at a time

The center caps came with the rims, They looked better than the Mustang and the American colors imo.

I acually plan to replace the bodykit. Going to get either a Cobra front, or my stock front with a lip kit, and a gt rear... or a cobra rear if I can find a shaved one. Mainly because im tired of this kit due to it bein Fiberglass.

Then I will lower it, prolly the 1.4" drop... Im not sure if that will be low enough to get the effect I want tho. Prob closer to a 2" drop but thoese seems hard to find.

rims look so sick on your car, good call on loosing the bodykit, i think it will look even better with cobra stuff. and may i suggest some 1" spacers on the back wheels to make them stick out a little further, it will give it a meaner look when you drop it

1" spacers? Never heard of them, but I like the idea. I really wish they made the Saleen in a reg and deep dish model because I did want the reg in front and deep dish in the back.

Where can I get thoese? Avg price? just bolt on between the rotor and rim?
