Those rear tires look like they're going to jam up against the fenders.

Only way to keep tires much bigger than 35" out of the sheet metal is to limit the bump travel and lift the heck out of it - can you say Monster Truck.

He should have gone with a lower suspension lift, and added a body lift.

I have a 06 Chateau...

I actually like the red, even the bumpers (though I vaguely wonder if they are in fact the real thing, or if they aren't, if it matters). Not sure if the wheels/tires aren't too much.

I have one of his conversions, and I'll say again that it works for me. Those vans however are far from new before they are converted and should be inspected accordingly. -- Again, I'm happy with what I got, but did sort a couple things that I knew needed sorting when I bought it.

You can't fake that bumper shape. It's just easier to paint everything than to clean and tape and change colors, otherwise you end up with a used looking bumper and shiny new van.
