Sadly, being concerned about wheel gap and/or ground clearance are both incorrect. What people SHOULD be concerned with is PERFORMANCE. If you have optimum geometry and maximum grip with it 8" off the ground (stock mustang), then you should be 8" off the ground. Nothing is optimal in the stock mustang suspension, so please don't leave your mustang high in the air on its factory 4x4 suspension.

I'm just saying that the focus of any and all modifications done to a vehicle's suspension should be to improve handling, not reducing something so trivial as the wheel-to-fender gap.

This mindset is 100% correct in a performance application.

Blah blah blah performance blah blah blah. I just want zero wheelgap and I'm happy.

This mindset is 100% correct in today's "street scene".

Yep, I figure they'll go up a few thousand just because of the movie.

Better paint it white, ya know the movie and all.

I really don't like red cars, but a guy I ran around with in high school had a dark red one that was absolutely beautiful. I think whatever color you decide will look killer on those cars. If you're planning on flipping it you're probably better off with white or orange to ride the F&F wave.

That orange supra posted earlier probably needs that huge wing because of how fast thos graphics make the car.

Congrats man! I liked it with the body kit and wheels though... I say slap a turbo on it and throw some 93 octane in it and see how much of the ozone you can kill lol.

What about the purple with white wheels I tagged you in on IG?

I saw I white one on the highway today. Broke my neck.

slow90coupe · Apr 9, 2015

That purp car on IG was tits for sure, but I don't know if I could really paint my own car purple. I've got the choices narrowed down to silver, white, and anthracite. For now, I think I can make the silver paint that's on it work pretty well. It's turning out halfway decent surprisingly.

I drove the car today with the CCW's on. Yes I know they have hella mexipoke. They've already been taken back off because they rub like crazy even on stock suspension, lol.

Then the real fun began. I spent a little time on the headlights to see if I could do anything with them. I just saved myself $1300 so I'm very happy!
Can you see the difference?

Witzy0070 · Apr 9, 2015

You should put a super and turbocharger on it. And nitrous. Plus lots of stickers.

Looks good!

Keep up the excellent detail work man! It's amazing what some time and effort can do for a car.

98snakehorse · Apr 10, 2015

This makes me miss mine like crazy. And yeah its crazy how expensive oem replacement headlights are for these things its unreal.

99GreenStang · Apr 11, 2015

Slow90coupe I can't get over the fact you just said something was "tits". I've heard this before, but by a guy from Wisconsin that owns a local guitar shop he was trying to sell me a guitar and he was talking about the paint job on the guitar and he was like "it's tits man" did everything I could to not lol.

I'm not an import guy, at all. That being said, who doesn't love the Supra? It's just one of those cars. I was up in Detroit last year with my buddies for Woodward, we were cruising to the hotel late at night when a black Supra on Weld RTS's came flying towards us, he slowed down and turned right as we continued straight, and that's when we saw the "1007whp" license plate on it. He took off, and as he shifted the backfire was so loud our ears were literally ringing for an hour. The sound was just incredible. Majestic. Ever since then I've really had a lot of respect for those cars. Sure I've seen them in numerous movies, hundreds of youtube vids and tons of video games, but actually seeing a high hp one in person, just made it for me.

Congrats on the purchase man. If it were my car I'd for sure put a big turbo on it and turn it into the monster Supras are known to be, but if it's not "the one" for you, definitely flip it and find that one. It's cool seeing this cars running around in all the TX2K vids, showing the newer cars how it's done

I got the front bumper looking presentable finally. I also finished the paint correction, painted all of the black trim, and got the interior back together after doing a very extensive cleaning. Here's some pics. I'm very pleased with how it came out!

And the floormats that came with the car. They're mint! I later found out that they're worth like $400, so I'll be selling them, lol.
