it is def getting lowered.......just gotta wait for the money....... hey tricked, what percent is your tint? and is it the same all the way around? thanks for your time.
it is 35% all around..... Verdicts were my 2nd choice for wheels, very clean and smooth, I love hidden lug wheels. What tires did you go with?
those are sumitomo htrz II's.........i am not to fond of them.......when it is time to replace i think i might go with yokohama's new high performance tires they just came out with...... thanks for the response everybody.....i am just waiting on micah's front bumper now! peace out.

Nice car, I can appreciate the beauty of a red 96  I'm in the middle of a lawsuit to get my rear bumper replaced, DEFINATLEY going to have to spend a few extra $$$ to make sure I get the SVT bumper, man the SVT kit looks good on the pre-98's!

I'd get a trunk spoiler from a 95-97 SE, not a "wing".
2000 SE fleet, V6, ATX, ABS, no spoiler, T-Green/tan. Built 01/2000 in MO.
Added 12 spoke factory SE rims, K&N. Biggest mod: ESP Plan!

Can't wait to have my bumpers changed on my 96! Looking good!
Why not put a F-40 wing and a f-1 wing on top, plus a SRS wing on the roof, and don't forget the glue on the rear tires! (Please don't put a wing! it's not gonna change anything on your driving skils!)

Verdicts were my 2nd choice for wheels, very clean and smooth, I love hidden lug wheels. What tires did you go with?i removed my door ding gaurds and i didn't hurt myself at all no bandaids i think everyone goes at it the wrong way, what i did was take off part of the strip at the end of front door beginning of back door and then pull it off with my hand, then after that i put googone on it let it sit for a few and started working off the sticky stuff by pushing it from the side and it came off took like 20 min per side

What do you mean: not fond of them? What do you dislike about them? What tires did you have before?

i dont know......when cold (the tires) they pull from side to side, they are quiet, that is for sure......great in wet weather......but i had some 16" potenzas prior, and i just felt really good riding on them......maybe i am just having a hard time adjusting to running on z rated tires.....i dunno...... oh and btw.......i dont want a wing to make me drive better......i know what wings do and what they dont do.....i want one cause i think they look cool........nothing to do with driving ability...... thanks for the postitive response though guys....

First I'll say great looking car, lowered with the front bumper, it will look stunnung. However... Originally posted by tricked96:

The ricer's motto... you just hit it on the proverbial head. "'cause I think they look cool" is NEVER a reason to add something that has a negative impact on the car (drag, in this case).

NOTICE: call me a ricer......fine.......but not everyone on these boards is out to have the best quarter-mile time........if it takes me longer to drive all of 4 miles from my home to work, then so be it.......if i use one more gallon of gas every two weeks because of the wing, then so be it...... i want my car to look good, not go fast....thank you.
