Definitely the way it should be Wish you could lower it another inch or two for a pic.... Looks great!

I agree.. take a crapload more pictures.

edit: Oh, excuse the potentially noob question but did you need that rear bodywork to 'finish' the fender pull or did it turn out ok prior? Forgestar really seems to be the best option for something light weight in our bolt pattern with an offset that will fit flush with the fenders... I'm just trying to plan out as much concavity as possible in an 18x8.

Thanks for the kind words! The rear body work is actually Norm's Racing bumper. A little work had to be done to it in order to match up with the fenders after they were pulled. Getting a concave wheel in an 18x8 is going to be tough..I was looking as well. The deep concave (my rear wheels) were only available in 9.5" width rear wheel and greater.

Looks real nice Steve!! much more aggressive!
for those of us that will not see it in person next weekend

, can you please take some pictures of it side by side to a "stock body" kappa to realise the extension of the differences?

Mean machine you have there Steve.

Since last time I saw it in person, those new wheels are AWESOME, the body integrates nicely also.

That Intruder deserve a complete photo session.

Very nice. I was cruising beside a new black Camaro with the side ground effects package last week during the Detroit Dream Cruise. He had very subtle realistic flames airbrushed just on the ground effects. The placement of them helped to emphasize how low the car sat to the ground. It made me wonder how it would look on a black Kappa with Norms side skirts. Normally I'm not a fan of old school graphics and new school designs, but for whatever reason this was rocking it.

Absolutely fantastic. Love the wheels. Love the body modifications. Great job all around and I hope to see it in person some day.

spicy3480 · « **Reply #30 on:** August 29, 2011, 08:25:10 PM »

More pictures for the people that asked...

SHiNY · « **Reply #31 on:** August 29, 2011, 08:36:02 PM »

Good call on removing the red stripe from the wheels. I think I like it. I need to see it in person to make a final decision.

P.S. You're 6 foot something tall, why are all your pictures taken from Elff height?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #32 on:** August 29, 2011, 09:09:30 PM »

Because if he stood up all you would see are pictures of the houses behind the car.

Steve, thanks for the updated pictures of INTRUDR! I know I will never get rid of "Miss Red Eagle" and I am sure you will not sell INTRUDR, but I am not kidding...the right buyer at auction might be willing to pay a fortune for your sweetheart! I would never sell her but when the time comes if you put INTRUDR on the block and the right buyer shows up, hail Mary full of grace, uh, you could be a very rich man. Just like the Eagle, I would never sell her, coolest car I have ever owned, and I am sure you feel the same about your pride and joy. Sweet Indeed!

Looks fantastic.

I'd like to see how wide those tires look underneath, btw why haven't you gone with blacked out headlights?

spicy3480 · « **Reply #35 on:** August 30, 2011, 09:44:00 AM »

I kinda like the little bit of pop the front lights give...maybe one day I will switch, but I like it for now. The tires are 275's, so they are pretty wide

Critterman · « **Reply #36 on:** August 30, 2011, 09:54:12 AM »

definately one of a kind Spike

Badazz Steve! Badazz!

The headlights definitely stand out. Not sure I'm sold on that, but the wider look is fantastic!

Nice job!!!

I don't think that was a compliment

Looks like a bat mobile

All your photos look stretched wider than normal.

You are getting as bad as my wife, trying to read my mind. If I thought it looked like crap I would have said so.

Spike - don't listen to him he is jealous. I sure would not want to be in the same car show with you.

I thought the same thing and that is indeed a compliment. I loved the Batman movies and the bat mobile always brought a smile and grin to my face, it was awesome, it had attitude, it looked ferocious and sinister the sound it made was was music what a sweet ride indeed!!! It would be fun to have a bat mobile in the garage next to Miss Red Eagle.

spicy3480 · « **Reply #43 on:** August 30, 2011, 01:13:27 PM »

Ha thanks guys! You're all awesome. Joe, the pics are normal...just auto setting on camera. The only thing stretched are the fenders LOL.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #44 on:** August 30, 2011, 01:40:07 PM »

I don't know it looks a little squished to me.

J_Bond · « **Reply #45 on:** August 30, 2011, 01:48:29 PM »

Sol Asylum,
this forums' pics will 'squish' if you are not viewing in widescreen. Stretch your browser to max.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #46 on:** August 30, 2011, 01:55:17 PM »

Shhhh... don't tell him.

SHiNY · « **Reply #47 on:** September 04, 2011, 02:14:48 PM »

So I saw the Intruder in person today and I have to say it looks REALLY good!

I think if it were in any other color than black it would be WAY over the top. However, the black mutes it a little and helps it all blend and pull together.

Very nice Steve, excellent job

spartan · « **Reply #48 on:** September 04, 2011, 05:48:16 PM »

Spike,

I think you have the sharpest looking kappa I've seen. Lots of mods but subtle and tough looking. Great job.

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #49 on:** September 04, 2011, 07:53:06 PM »

WOW. Can you drive that out to San Diego so my misses can see it so she wont think I'm crazy when I tell her I need 10K to "fix" the solstice?
