    I like it, but I still stick with my previous statement of one set one side and the other set on the other side, but it does look pretty good as it sits.

    I was really worried about the outcome based off the first page, but the pics above redeemed it. I can't **** on the Grand Cherokee side trim, it looked stupid with stockies but on some decent rolling stock it looks good.

    I like the mismatch, but I'm a drifter, everything I put on my cars doesn't match.

    I'm interested to see what this looks like with matching wheels all around (or at least side-to-side as previously mentioned) and more low. It needs to be so low it resembles a speedbump.

I'm trying to figure out if i can change the face of my speedo gauge from the dohc gauge to the sohc gauge to compensate for the smaller tires..
    Well my speedo is off by like 5mph fast at 70(according to gps I'm going 65) still, but my gps tells me so I just go by that.... Yea the roof is cool but still is a work in progress, I'm figuring out a top of it with magnets and things.....

    sooooo, got a lil delivery today


    and because I'm a 'tard I decided to test fit my back wheels without trimming down my stock studs.... so the wheels are pushed out half an inch further then they'll actually end up being. should be easily manageable with a little camber and stretch


    from the front it looks like it sticks out a foot


    gonna paint when the weather is good again, got a coat of primer on so far tho

    Man great great idea with the neon stuff, are the struts shorter as well to alow for more shock travel then the Saturn ones??? That's the issue I'm running into with my setup being so low is my struts keep bottoming out and rides horible..... I've been looking for something todo and this I home is the answer....

    I'm on stock struts now,
    I'll have to measure them when I get a chance, but if I remember right I think they're maybe about an inch shorter. haha your car is actually the main inspiration behind my build! what size of tires are you running on yours if you don't mind me asking? I'm guessing its around a 40 profile 16?

    205/40R16, Which means the cars going an inch and a half lower spacers should come soon and then I'll have an actual update

    Thanks! ooh sc's can look good! I've seen a couple "stanced" but they still aren't common. good luck with your build, i'll def be following the sc build if you post one up
