    hell yeah dude! looking good so far, what size wheel/tires are you going to go with. I just changed to an even smaller tire this morning actually lol 215/35/18

    sorry for the photo taken from my instagram. but this is where i drive it on top and how i park it on bottom. with the new setup i mentioned above of course. rears are 19x10 with 225/35/19 so its double staggered or "diameter staggered" wheel setup.

    Edit : this is a shitty picture i tried to take with my phone earlier at the tire shop for you. Ill try and take some better ones when i get a chance. they were really busy and i didnt want to be in the techs hair as he was changing my wheels and tires.

    I think it would look pretty cool on a set of KMC Novas or Boss 335s... your car is badass by the way..

    looking good dude! do you plan to paint the rocker panels and all? love how 202s lay out with just a few quick tweaks to the suspension. one of the easiest cars there is to put on bags. or even a decent static setup.

    Trunk setup is clean man! thats something i need to address next actually I have my tank and comp all just on a board that i had used when mocking everything up. How did you mount the tank to the carpet? did you have to add MDF to the back of the trunk floor ? i know part of it is already stiff just that back half is loose flimsy fabric.

    yeah they sit on a piece of 3/4 inch mdf that I put in there.. im very happy with the way the trunk turned out, and the compressors aren't too loud, I think with the back seat installed and some dyna mat on the rear seat panel you will barely hear them.. it gets good lift, but I am going to move the front shocks outward a little cause they are a little too close to the bags.. going to cut the shock mounting tabs off the lower control arms and weld on some different d tabs.. the local speed shop sells a lot of stock car stuff so I can get them cheap..
