Decals look good, do you think you'll adapt the wheels to fit?

Camber is realistic. You can either have positive, neutral, or negative camber.

Negative Camber - goes up into the fenders/quarterpanels/wheel-wells.
Neutral Camber - straight up and down.
Positive Camber - Bottom end of the tire and rim/wheel, point inwards. Top points out.

Looks like a good start. Good luck.

Blade.

positive camber is on high bodies right? like raised pick ups, negative camber is the lowrider norm isnt it? Most very low cars have neg camber to some degree. Either way that is gonna look awesome. Especially if you get those wheels on or something similar.

That's negative Camber, and used greatly on dropped vehicles that drag frame.

Hey... Please do not bump old threads. Considering you've been on this site for about 1 1/2 years and have about 40 posts, you should have already read the rules and have known about this.
