Thanks guys!
I bough the euro plate on the internet. The CA plate was an option I thought would be cool. They have all states available.
Thanks Vandit. Yea, I raised it up a little for now until I get the proper ET on the rear wheels and then I'll lower the vehicle to the proper height.
Thanks Craig!

Thanks fellas!
David, I'll be going to Cars & Coffee this saturday with a few friends. So hopefully, you can join in.
Update: Added the RSA/turbo wing, RS center section, left rear valance (for future dual exhaust), painted the cup mirrors and front splitter matte black, and had the racing stripe go over the roof and down the back.
BBS E28s are being rebuilt to a more aggressive ET on the rear. Once I get them back, going to get full geo to get the stance right.
Enjoy!

Frank, I agree! It's the only wing I like as well for a NB. I bought the rear valance from FVD and it's fiberglass.

Bit of an update.
Got my BBS E28s back. I had the lips changed on the rears from a 1.5" to a 2". I also elected to keep the inner barrels at 8.5" rather than switch it to an 8" since there wasn't any clearance issues. So now the specs on the rears are 18 x 10.5 ET 37. I initially had the 265/35 installed but that gave the tire a little bit of a stretch. So I bought new rears in 275/35. And now there is no stretch at all. I know some of you would say that the tire is too tall, but it's only a difference of .3" compared to the 265/35. I didn't think that would make much difference driving wise, plus my car is a C2, so the ratio doesn't have to be spot on like a C4.
I had the car dialed in and it's sitting as low as you can go without any rubbing issues. My rears are at
-3 degree camber. I know it's not ideal for a driver, but I absolutely love the way it is right now. Just the right amount of aggressiveness for my taste. One last note, my fenders were rolled to make it work. Now to the pics.

Looks great Rey! More meat on the tires look great on these cars. From the side view it looks like the rear will rub but that's great it doesn't. I have to ask though do you scrape a lot with your ride height?
