My initial thoughts were ditch the wheels but the more I look at your car the more I can see the wheels actually flowing for the look your trying to achieve.... w/ that being said, I love the rear half of the car.... the front not so much. Needs more sharpness somehow to feel updated. I really think the front dump would improve 10 fold.... overall looking HAWT!!! I'm digging the look, its refreshing to see something besides the VIP stuff.

Yup! Thats why I want to tub it and hopefully that will achieve what I want. I too dont like the front (mostly because so much wheel can be seen ) The tub should even things out a bit.

Unfortunately even with a tub I can only get 1 inch of drop. Our control arms only allow so much drop. (the lower control arm that is) because of the 22, it has more travel to do in order to dump it. I basically have the same problem as truck do :/

wish me luck cause I'm tryin

well definitely good luck and please let us know if there's anything we can do to help! I'm genuinely excited to see how your car comes out. It's so unique and ballsy.

Might I suggest adding on a Win La Club chrome grill and repolishing the headlights? hell the entire WIN La Club kit would look great on your car.... I haven't seen any cars w/ the WIN kits. Keep us updated!
