Agreed!!! Blow me plate sounds too much like a juvenile attempt at being cool. Black grill doesn't cut it on this car and your color combination.This is a classic car not a ricer. Elegance grill and a more thoughtful front plate would do wonders. Does need lowering though and the rest looks great. Best of luck with your project.

I am only 18, so the blow me plate fits. It is a joke so please dont get offended.
But I couldn't stand the oem chrome grille.
Lowering springs are on order so I'll have more pictures to come.

tires are way too small. You need some 225/45/17s. Those 205s have a smaller contact patch than what came on the stock 16s. But yea, some proper sized tires and a drop will make it look much better.

I am stretching the tires, that is why they appear very small.

So the h&r springs only offer a 1.3 front and 1.4 rear drop.
Decided to go eibach, it is 1.6" all around and I getting #1 bump pads for the springs which should give me a 2" drop or more. Update coming soon with pictures.

you could have gone with h&r cup kit and it gives a 2" drop. moar low
EDIT: also, what tires did you stretch? looking for some LM's that I think would look good with stretch
get on stanceworks

I am cutting the h&r's if they are not low enough... I purposely got that tire size, I know I could of got higher profile etc. I got the car for dirt cheap and I could care less about it really, its just for school and something to put miles on. tires are really cheap too, like maybe $200 anyways.
Shipping is lagging, got the shims, but the springs have not come yet.

My dads wholesale parts provider didn't have that option
