Comparison... So Whaddya Think?

I have a picture of my car and another edited picture of what I think I want it to look like (pardon the sub-par editing job).

As it sits.



What I think I want it to look like.
- Shaved trim and handles
- Painted wheel centers
- Custom chin spoiler
- Turn-down exhaust before rear axle




I like the blacked out and shaved look. I currently have the rear spoiler on though and I'm currently modifying a chin spoiler off a 67 Camaro.

Lemme know what you think/like/don't like.

bigger wheels, shorter sidewall tires (but not Hot Wheels style), lower. how about a front back view? i like the subtle contrast between the window trim & bumpers.

Re: Comparison... So Whaddya Think?

Yeah, I definitely want bigger wheels, but.... My budget doesn't allow me to buy new wheels anytime soon considering I've gotta put money into other things first.

My overall goal is to get some wheels where the top lip of the rear rim almost tucks behind the top of the rear fender. I have absolutely no clue what size wheel that would take or if I'd have to tub the wheelwells, but I figure I can get it pretty close with large enough rims and lower profile rubber.

Plus it's already pretty low, and with the chin spoiler I don't think I can make it too much lower because I still wanna be able to drive it around Atlanta where theres tons of dips and potholes.
