Looks like project is coming along very well. Good job. One more thing to consider, the rear end. The stock exhaust is really gonna look oout of place back there now, so don't forget to finish that off as well. May have to custom fab something back there so that it at least LOOKS like it belongs there. Would think more of a dual setup, since you have those huge opening back there, unless they got filled in. This will help to give overall balance to all the work you have done to it, and not make it look like it it half finished.
Just my .02 cents. Anyways, good work so far!!

Hmm. I like the front bar, looks mean. Not into the rest really, but the paint job looks real nice! It really makes the tan interior stand out nicely, looks great on black.

Job looks like it was realy done well. Paint is absolutely A-1. You def need a dual exhaust to fill out the rear end of that car. I dunno,, from the side profile, to me,, just look like it is missing something; cant put my finger on it. Not specifically talking about wheels, as I know this is still a work in progress. Just missing something. For some reason I am just not in love with the way the whole kit flows together. Fitment and custom work that was done, props to that shop. Have a feeling they may be getting a whole lot of business or referral from you.

Main thing is that you are happy with it,, that is all that counts. Props to you again for thinking outside of the box.

BTW,, what part of PA are you in? Drop down to the NELOC section on this forum and intro yourself.

The front end looks very mean, I love it. However the back just doesn't seem to match the rest of the car. When you single out the rear it makes me feel like im looking at a skyline for a second.. But overall this has been money well spent, what a great paint job! Instead of blacking out the tails, might I recommend you just replace your old ones with 2001 tails?
