Looks good...

Not a complaint, but it'd look much cooler without the gravel dust on the tires. :-)

Nice! Lowered with some lowering springs would make it look complete.
Don't know why Chevy has this car with so much space between the top of the tire and the fender. An inch makes all the difference in the world.

Too black...they MUST be accented with red stripes to set them off.

I like the dust on the treads...makes it look driven instead of a garage queen.

They look great! Powder coated/painted? Apex sells some black Gorilla Lug Nuts that would make it look even better .

Yea, lowering does make the car look so much better just like window tint gives it a whole different look.
I don't want to help you spend your money as others have done for me but if you like the lowered look, GO FOR IT! For one the look is sick and the lower center mass is a plus. I might add if you want a great handling car and plan to do the springs and the sways, do the sways first if you're looking for handling. The difference is like night and day! GM should have put the type of sways on this car that aftermarket has out there. I have the Eibach sways and I mean I couldn't believe the difference and you won't require an alignment with this. If you go springs you will need to align it immediately but like I said, the look is killer! I had the Eibach Pro Kit initially and my rears kept coming out of perch so I had them removed and I was refunded and I ended up getting the Pedder's which is so much better in ride, handling and performance. Nothing like them in my opinion. My car rides so much better and having the bushings timed after the install should be automatic with anyone doing the install if they know what they're doing. Like I said, sways for handling, springs for the look and both to just make it a killer package all the way around!

As a side note, the wheels would look good with a red or silver stripe around them. Some painted calipers to go with it would be sweet!

Good luck with it all. Time to go out and prep for some fender vent cutting.
