Default how do you know you love your car?

when it is 94 degrees with 85 percent humidity and you spend 4 hours detailing your car! Gotta love Tennessee!! Posting these pics also gives me an opportunity to show off the new wheels I got last month

here are a few before pics.





Here is after the wheels and my detail work.

















Thanks for looking.

Looks good! just needs a drop and you're set. In the meantime, i'd suggest the heather hose mod for the rear.

Nice 4x4! Just kidding, it would look sweet lowered though! I love pewter T/A's, I wish my cousin would have left his pewter instead of painting it flat black.

Thanks to everyone for looking! To say it is hot this summer is not sufficient, I think we are situated at the exhaust vent for Hell!

It's funny that everyone mentions that I need to lower the car, because that is exactly what I have planned for my next upgrade. I was leaning towards the Eibach pro-kit springs, shock absorbers, and sway bar combo. If I'm correct that should improve the stance and accommodate any future upgrades designed to capture additional power from the 5.7 liter hoss. Thoughts?

Looks nice. Maybe it's just the angle of the picture why it looks like to rears stick out too far

As someone whos had the eibachs, go with strano springs or....any other kind really. I have found that the eibachs are way too low and dont provide the best ride quality. As far as shocks and say bars, go koni's and strano hollow bars if money isnt an issue.

Car looks sweet! Memphis is feeling the heat and humidity too.

Second the Strano springs, Koni's and Strano sway bars. The stance is just right IMO, ride is firm, stable, and corners like a madman.

Give Sam a call, he will hook you right up and not BS you.

Just remember, speed costs money, how fast you want to go? (Apply that to handling in this case) and 9 times out of 10, the parts may be expensive, but you get what you apy for. The Strano package is definitely money well spent.
