    or my personal favorite the ford turbine wheels


    Either way keep up the work! I'm in for more of the transformation of this SHO
    I agree, it does need some different wheels.. also the crown victora had some really nice mesh wheels with a lip.. and i beleive they were 16s

        I'm digging what you're doing. I like the Corvette wheels and think they add some edge to it.

        I think people aren't getting it because they aren't sure which direction your going with the car. A majority of the exterior is a clean VIP style black but then you have the frankenstein stitches on your bumper. And the grill just looks like it doesn't fit. Hell I'd rock it without the grill because i feel it draws my eye away from the good the front might have.

        Just clean it up and do what you want with her.

          I do like it, its just missing something else to set it off. Some cleaning up and small additions would be awesome. I'd say lose the black tail lights, too much black going on. I think some bright red tails would be nice. Maybe a small lip for the trunk and find those sideskirts someone posted to make the sides of the car more even with the bumper and that lip looks nice too.

          Good work!

              Definitely got potential, just needs some cleaning up and maybe a different set of wheels, I like the corvette wheels but they don't suit this car really.

                The only reason it would be 'first of it's kind', is because it has corvette wheels on it.
                Which is not some amazing feat anyhow.
                Douche alert.

                OP, its a good start. The exterior definitely needs some help(I'm sure this isn't news to you). I love the idea of a stanced SHO though and can't wait to see where you take it!

                    I like it, looks like a super fun car to beat the piss out of. Is it a 5 speed?

                          I like it.

                          But, since you have the adapters already, I would sell the corvette wheels then find a set of the 16 inch Firebird/trans am meshies. It would give it an aggressive racy touring car type of vibe.

                            As much as I love shooters, you should definitely get some sort of ford wheels.

                            Other than that is looks cool as hell!

                              I actually like it, even the wheels, although I do think something in more of a mesh style would suit the car better.

                              Do what you want with your car though!
