IMO, different set of wheels (8 wide), aftermarket side skirts & rear lip & the car would be complete. Everything flows so well. You never had a ride thread?

[accordracing91]

Yeah but never kept it up to speed

i have the rear lip at home, but it arrived all smashed up, still waiting on DHL to clear the situation so the seller can send me another one. Its a Works rear lip

I'm going for some 16x8 +20 4lug wheels. So wide, they will be
Along with a coilover set-up to make it all flow well.

4inch gap FTMFW!! lol

Even engine-less we had one hell of a time getting the car on the trailer, the floor was rubbing on the trailer...imagine if it had a engine and a lower drop

coilovers ftw. I can probably take it up to a 1.5-2" gap. lol
