Well, it didn't take long for the Florida contingent to weigh in here. Thanks for the positive comments guys. I think I may actually be done with the back end of the car now. Unless I decide I just can't live without the JP taillights.

That's exactly what I was thinking. How can you live without them?

Either way, though, the car looks great.

Thanks e-man. The tails are nice for sure but I also have my eye on the JP grill, TTE lip, American Stitches steering wheel, and would love to upgrade the sound system with some quality speakers, a sub, and new amp/s. Then I keep thinking about those rims from Auto Couture or Fabulous. So, I can think of about $10,000 worth of other stuff I want besides the JP tails. Oh well, maybe next month , LOL

Thanks, Henry. It's L-tuned shocks and springs all around. The front drop is lower than what most people report achieving with this set-up. I also have the Daizen sway bars. After your comment I looked at the pic again and I see what you mean about the back. Perhaps because I am half on pavement and half off with the right side sitting several inches lower it makes the left rear gap appear more noticeable than usual. I haven't seen that on other pics of the car on level ground. For example:
