Mmmmm.....VERY nice, but again rides too low for my taste. At that height you'll be scrapping all the "goobers" off the surface of the street. Yes, I know Polara......torsion bars:tongue2:

Not to mention it causes the exhaust system to hang extra low and begging for disaster.

Seems to me they would have taken the trouble to redo the front seat material to more closely match the rear...

Good point but flippers usually dont care.

The wheels and tires dont help things here. . . . . And I hate it low too.

That is true.

The wheels are a little to big for my taste, and I think it's a real dumb place for door speakers. But all in all, I think it pretty cool!

Its not a dumb place, probably a good place accoustically speaking but I wouldnt have cut those door panels, thats probably the dumb part.

I like that one top to bottom, even the wheels don't bother me on this one. I agree with Alleyoop on the speaker location though, wether it sounds good there or not, it sure don't look good! Looks like it would be fun to drive.

Agreed! My opinion is to go 15 inch wheels with maybe 70-series tires. That's for more comfortable and silent ride and looks perfect to me. Very beautiful car anyway.
