First off, thank you for all of the compliments everyone.. it is nice to see some hard work appreciated. I will have a bunch of new pictures this weekend if all goes as planned (which it probably won't).
I think the rivets make the wheels look more luxurious, possibly even more expensive, but I like doing things completely different from the rest of the crowd. My last set of wheels became the most popular DPE wheel, so I definitely had to move away from it, not matter how great they looked. I will get some close up shots when the 15" rotors are snuggled up behind the wheels.. Oh, and my license plate is real, not a photochop.
It weird, I feel the same way about certain parts on other cars as well. Sometimes I don't like the kenstyle front and sometimes I do, sometimes the impul rear looks out of place and sometimes it looks great.. Every car seems to have its own personality somehow.
Finally! Someone who agrees with me that my car doesn't need "tints." Hah. And now that I have body-matched corners, no can bother me to get clear corners either.
If all goes well I should be at the meet, driving through all the construction on 95 will be a blast! Suspension is JIC-FLTA2 Coilovers with the full kinetix camber kit front and rear as well as SPC bolts.
Jon, we definitely can have another Cruiser's Grill meet, that place is great. I think we missed you by 10 minutes last time too.. I know exactly how you feel about coming from a boosted car to an n/a car, the g felt soooo slow to me for so long. The vortech won't blow the doors off a lot of cars, but it is definitely a nice punch of power; you can't beat the classic BOV sound 
I would guess about 3" all around, maybe a little more in the back.. Low enough to barely be able to get my camber in spec even with all the camber adjustment pieces you can buy. I actually might go a little lower in the rear because it isn't rubbing yet and I like tucking as much tire as possible.
Well it took SO long to get these wheels I might have to keep them for 6 months or so.. If DPE comes out with another design I like, I might change it up, but for now I will let these grow on me for awhile. How's your car holding up?
