It has taken a while, and a couple of frustrating weeks getting this stuff to fit close enough to be passable, but it is finally done.
Just need to find a good quality polish to protect the paint and I will be happy.

I think a set of 97 tail lights might finish the rear off a bit better.

Too low for my tastes (guess you have airbags anyway), but awesome non the less! |

Its a copy, not sure what of.
It wasnt a great fit, took a bit to fit to get it to fit.

Stock 97 front, cant beat it for good looks, and it fits perfectly.
exhausts are still there.
you just cant see them. |

Looks lovely Paul,
I think its time to upgrade those tail lights and perhaps even those rims... YES YES i realise you love them but with that paint there are some great options of wheels which would make that car look subtle but brilliant.
I love these... but they are only in 20s and 20s are a little gay

Funny you should mention wheels Haro, but I have been looking at similar styles to those in 18's.
Biggest problem io clearing my front brakes, so wheels will have to wait. |

i really liked the rims that Tai put on his supercharged V8 a while back, they came out soooooo good and they didnt have any dish and it actually looked great.
Ive seen those rims on a new wagon type WRX but instead of inside bit being black it was GOLD ! very nice indeedie |

Paul, if you're after rims to clear big brakes then I suggest taking a look at the Rays Volk Racing catalogue - http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/indexe.html
They regularly design wheels to clear big brakes for Supras, Brembos, etc. |

I'm really liking those wheels in the third picture.
Rays wheels are high quality, lightweight Japanese wheels. I purchased a set for my car and ensured that I got the "A" type which allowed for big brake clearance.
I'm not a huge fan of Tempe Tyre wheels but they do have some nice choices in their range. |

nice work!
i reckon what would look sweet, and if i win lotto this is the exact rim i'll be going for Work VS-KF. massive Dish, and they are a nice simple looking rim, but does the job nicely
just some pics to get the juices going

I am liking the the ones in the second pic, mot a real big fan of chrome wheels, but I think they would be the best choice.
Just gotta put some cash aside for them now. |

A sign of cutting corners financially no doubt. |

Now now guys, no need to be hatin' on each other's tastes in wheels. If someone wants to have stretched sidewalls, let them. If someone wants to stick to factory spec 50+ offset, who cares?
End of the day it's not your car their ruining (or improving?). |
