I have come upon some bumps, or what could be bumps in the road....
Well, I know alot of you have seen pictures of my car and know the kit combo I chose for my car.
I am beginning to reconsider my options, and considering NOT keeping the cal z rear kit. Havent been very vocal about it on hbdz so I thought I would lay it out. In one way I am drawn to the uniqueness of the rear cal z body kit and in another way I've come to believe that this kit if more trouble than its worth. Seems like the pros of the kit is getting smaller and smaller in my opinion.
Pros-
Unique look (at this point the only pro I can think of with the type of car that it is)
Cons-
Wheel Wells need to be refinished, I know, what alot of you guys have said is true and cutting them back to run a wider tire
Why do I need such a wide tire? If I get the wheel wells fixed and swap the suspension out to coilovers I could run like a 14-15" wide tire. Remember this car will be street driven mainly and only taken to the track every once in awhile
Upon further investigation I am figuring out the look on the rear of the car really doesnt match the front of the car
Can only use 2 types of spoilers to make it looks decent and not riced, either a touring wing or a whale tail. As much as this car is already a cop magnet a racing wing screams send me to jail for street racing.
It just seems like it's taking more trouble to make it look right than its worth.
And as for the rear kit I am moving towards would be the subtle z rear flares.
Pros would be-
Much broader choice in spoilers
Not have to spend ALOT of extra money getting a custom made wheel and a custom made tire.
Not worrying about how the wheel wells appear through the "vents" on the rear kit. (in my opinion this cheapens the look of the car and borders upon rice)
Would match my front fenders
Cons-
Have to take off my old rear kit... would have wasted time
Am I totally off? Am I on the right track? Remember this is a STREET car not a race car.
