NOT a fan of the bling, but I REALLY like the idea of the bumper end caps, front spoiler and what look to be fiberglass side skirts to bring the look of the body down. I think this would look good with 17/18's or similar.

I agree. That's why I posted it here instead of the Bastards Thread. Laughing It looks more like that JADA toy than any other Thing I've seen.

Posted this in the "slammed thing" thread already, but I think it's worth posting it here as well.

I know that car well. Congrats on Her. We're both from LBC. Cool

Losing the skirts was a great first change.

How low do you want to go? Slammed or Lowered?

As for wheels...Something different would be fully chrome sprint stars,
would look cool on a more drab paint scheme...imho.

I narrowed a beam from a 77 bug that had the wheels with tires already. I'm trying to make my mind in which rims to buy before to get the proper lug pattern brake.

I like tkelley idea of fully chromed sprintstars... I would love to Slam this car like the one in the picture but with other rims.

A more drab paint is what I'm looking for; the story behind the paint job is very sad, which left me desapointed in painting the car again.

Regards
