After getting the GT500 on friday, it was only a matter of time before I had to get some new shoes for her. I am actually thinking about making a smaller version of HirotoR34's Eleanor xmod out of this baby. Let me know what you pimps think ok.....

After thinking it over awhile I have decided to not go with the eleanor theme. I decided that the rims just didn't fit the cars design so I went to toys R us and found a 32 coupe with had some kick ass wheels. I put those on the stang (I am going to tab lower the front end to go with the smaller front wheels and trim the rear wheelwells to go with the fatties in the rear). I went a head and put the other wheels on the RX-7 which I think looks pimpin with the car. More pics will come after I slam da bitch...

Kinda looks like you might going to the muscle/drag look.
Should look killer.

Yes sir, you are correct. I just got done dropping the front end (2mm) and made the rear wheelwells bigger. I removed the front and rear bumper also. I am thinking of painting it but haven't decided on a color yet.

Thats pimp, I like the 2nd set of rims better, the ones you go on now, and the GT500 looks a lot better w/o the chrome bumper.

Yeah, I like the second set of wheels much better on there. Can't wait to see it painted... I'm not a big fan of red.

Ditto on both counts I like it lowered too!

The wheels do look much better the the first set. I am thinking of going with the old ford blue or maybe a orange with the white strips. Purple metalic is a thought as well. I am not to keen on red either.

I want to go a little lower in the back but the light set is in the way. I will see what I can come up with and keep the lights in but if I have to I will yank'em out.

Thanks pimps for your feedback.....

Well after a few cuss words I got the back lowered the way I wanted. I ended up pulling the lights. It looks much better though. I need to pretty everything up but will have to do it tomorrow. Heres a few pics of the lastest work.

This is what I am kinda shootin for.
