I installed my new wheel spacers today (few mm more than before) and cleaned the exterior up a bit.

Im really loving the look. The stance is a little low for my tastes, but it looks sweet.

that car is bad ass Mike. I know in your mind you want more, but to me and some others, you did what you wanted to the old 95.

I like the lowered stance, especially with those wheels. Great choices on both counts, IMHO.

Re: A few shots
Thanks guys.
I really don't get many looks at all. Most people probably don't know anything is really modified. That's ok be me though. It just means nothing is way out of place.
I wish I could get it lower to be honest with you. But, any lower up front and my axles are not happy. This is with the entire drivetrain raised up 1.5" too. And I can't go any higher with that due to potential firewall and p/s rack issues.
I've been pretty busy this year so far so no more polishing as of late. I still have a couple things left. I did finish tacking together most of my longtube headers though:
Not much else is going to happen to the exterior. I've got the bottom of a 92-95 SSE/i front bumper I'm going to try and make into a front lip and the bottom of a 96-99 SE rear bumper for the same. It should flow pretty well with the 96-99 SE sideskirts I have now.

Will you be running EGR? Those headers look mean as hell! (They would look real good under the hood of a certain SSE 
)

Lol.
Nah, no EGR. I'm going to replumb the pcv through an oil/water separator at first too. Then, I'll hook up my vac-pump setup again.

Re: A few shots
Ooh, custom LTs. Are you expecting much advantage over available SII headers or is this one of those "because I can" mods?

Re: A few shots
I can't expect huge gains being an n/a v6. But, I'm sure there will be gains.
Quick and dirty of why:
Angled primaries matching the angle of the exhaust port (vs. making the common nasty transition into the primary)
33" long primaries (I calculated the optimum length a few different ways)
True merge collectors (vs. the nasty group together and weld sheet metal around aftermarket collector)

Re: A few shots
OH!
I am really a big fan of this car. I love the stance, the tinted windows, the BBS wheels. I think these wheels are the best looking ones that I have a seen on any Bonneville. In my dreams, I'd ones like that on mine, and with the way you have lowered yours, it looks just perfect. Bravo!
