Thanks man, yeah they're FWD rims, I've got the bullet knock off It really reflects light when they're shiny because it's got straight edges.
I had seen your car and thought my caddy had a cousin, nice ride. I was thinking about getting bags instead of hydros but the skirts are going to give me trouble with the clearance.
i had bags at first and didn't really like it. I like the hydraulics much better, but it was expensive. Mainly because I had everything engraved and there was a lot of things I had to get fabricated especially for the vehicle. But I think in the end it was worth it. The bags got old after a while because it was a little too bouncy when it was low and I didn't get as much stroke as with the hydraulics. The hydros seem to ride a little better too. Also its not really as much maintenance and work as bag guys make it sound like. I only need to charge the batteries once or twice a month. a leak can be messy, but I haven't had any problems since I've "perfected" my setup.
Brizzal, did you paint your headlight reflector so you no longer have a hi beam? Also, what are you planning on doing with the extra bulb socket for the inner section of the turn signal? If you feel adventurous and slightly ricey you could add some strobes there, it would stand out nicely at a car show.

the high beam kinda went out the window when i changed headlight lenses, as the beam pattern was screwed. i dont know what im going to do with the socket, its like that for now to keep the water out. ive been thinking about strobes but im not sure yet
I promised a pic of our daily driver (and I just got a new phone ) so here it is:
Pretty? No.
Good condition? Almost.
Aggressive looking? I think so.
A practically un-muffled exhaust? Check.
One of the toughest, nicest (inside), aggressive sounding DD's you could have? Yes sir!
I know the DD looks a lot like my sisters car; that's because it used to be. After my dad got it sandwiched between two cars he bought my sister another Red on Red '93, and we fixed it up on literally no-budget, and there it is today! Its waiting for a transmission rebuild (toasted).
I took some other pics too:
My dads car, we were installing a new trunk pull-down motor today.
My car : I would have started it and made a video for you guys, but the battery is completely dead. Its hooked up to the charger now (the cord running above the headlight) so hopefully by tomorrow it will be recharged. If not I'll need to get a new battery.
Your car looks the best IMO. I am not a fan of white exteriors or red interiors and the quarter roof on your Dad's car is ghastly. You don't see a nice gray one too often.
^ We have the center caps They were in the trunk, because my dad takes them off when he has to park for more then 30 minutes; we've had them stolen before. He forgets to put them back though. For the DD they're in the basement.
Yeah, I completely agree about the colors, we only bought red because thats what my sister wanted, and my dad only really liked the white one because it was $900. We're still trying to figure out what to do with that quarter roof, we all hate it lol.
Rodya, that red Deville has some potential if you'd detail it and throw some whitewalls on. Like dirt cheap says, center caps are a great idea here as well.
The biggest item with potential here to me is that red paint. You can tell that it's got plenty of luster, and there's a lot more of it that a good quality clay bar, polish, and wax could bring out of it.

For the DD they're in the basement.
