Please don't give me too much grief about the quality of the photos, I just bought a camera and havn't been able to fool around with it much. And I know...the car is dirty. I swear it gets washed every 3 days but Indianapolis in infatuated with road construction progects so everything has a film of dust on it almost immediately. Next time I have the wheels off, I will take photos of my brake and suspension setup. It should be mid month when I go with the Air Ride setup in the rear.

I'm not too big on black rims but those look good on there. The car looks great. I like ride height looks good.

Very nice looking ride. The wheels are way cool! The cornering lights look brand new, how do you keep them like that? You might need a California duster to keep the dust down. My brother just got a 1999 Caddie Sedan DeVille and I drove it this morning. I told him " Man this thing drives a lot like my Riv" pimp

I appreciate all the positive feedback. As far as the cornering lights, looking new.... thats because they are. Figured it was worth more getting them new from the dealership than trying to buff the originals out.

When I get a chance I will take some photos of the car in motion. It really looks like a different car with the rims rolling. In fact my brother and a few of my friends love to see it in motion but do not really care for the wheels static. BTY the crome center caps have are imprinted with an "R" very similiar to the style used on the grill, just an added bonus.

Some love it, some hate it but I built it for me. Now to start saving for the go fast parts now that I have the braking and suspension just about complete.

I'm not big on rims but your are amazingly perfect for a black Riviera. It looks like a very exclusive car done up right. Very classy and agressive. clap

Riv of the month for sure

wow! most unexpected. i wouldn't have taken a second glance at those wheels if I saw them in a magazine I don't think, but you made it work! looks great. It's strange but they kind of make the car look smaller to me. thats way tight though!

20" rims (tires are 1.5" larger in diameter than stock also).. as far as the drop, check out the welcome board to read what i did with the suspension and brakes. Fingers getting tired after retyping everything I did.

Unfortunately those are some paint chips and bugs on the hood and tar on the lower valance. The rear deck paint is wearing thin also where you would put your hands to shut it. I have no idea why. I still get compliments on how well it looks for a 10yr car but the paint is the last on my list to improve. I figure I will be starting on the engine and drivetrain soon so I don't want to scratch a new finish. A friend and I have several years painting aerobatic/competition aircraftaircraft and I plan on painting it as soon as I am done with the mechanical aspecs. I know its not Buick related but I will try to find a couple of the aircraft we painted and post them. The Rivi will be black of course!! Besides people can't see the blemishes on the car at highway speeds.
