Yeah, me either! Right now all there is in Ohio is rain rain rain. once the brakes are finished, I am going to ask them to pull it outside the shop and get some pics. I just really want to go home and drive my car!

thanks! I did a search to see if anyone else had them and found a few guys with them on, but most had issues with the rear clearing the fender lip. I fixed that by narrowing the rear housing and welding on 9" housing ends. It seems to sit really good now. I'm really happy with it and just want it finished.

Well it drives! But it scrapes the front ground effects, so back into the shop it went.

Here are some pics of it outside finally. I need to get the adjustable lower control arms for it 1/2" shorter than stock. They are quite pricey tho, so I am having to wait until the check after my next one to get them. Just too tight right now. I think it looks fantastic. But you can see how close the front of the tire is to the front ground effect. I may just get a set of black 91 to 93 ones and put them on along with the different a arms.

Where did you get the wheels from? Reason I ask is because all the Saleen wheels I've seen, replicas and real, take the 2 3/8" center caps. I'd like to get some like yours that will take the tribar center caps.

Those came from ebay wheel place, they are the centers they offer with their wheels, they are very small centercaps. They have three or four styles of caps. Wheels were around 1k delivered to my door mounted, balanced, with lug nuts. Not a bad deal at all.

Thanks guys! The fronts are going to come under the fender just a little bit more, about half an inch. I am getting different front lower control arm$ for it, no the dollar sign is not a typo. these little pieces are very fricken expensive for a control arm, but they are adjustable and are custom built so if I want 1/2" off, he'll make it that way. I just need to save up for them now.
