I kinda wanna run 9.5 all the way around for a square setup, but I'm not sure of all the offsets, etc. These V2 guys on CTSVOwners.com HATE poke. I don't mind a lil.

I didn't get anymore pics, but it does look bad *** from a front angle. When I told my buddy of my plan to paint the mirrors too, he was like "NO WAY!".

Heh, I remember it being a big deal that the Impala SS was "body matching mirrors/door handles". Here I am going backwards . . .

I really like the contrast from the black mirrors. Looks great in pictures.

Red paint will do that. Not many ordered in red........Not a caddy colour per-say.

Better than some monkey toes to hang upside down from a tree.

Also, notice the crook in my big toe? That came from a bone infection (yes, a BONE infection: osteomyelitis) when I was a teenager skateboarding for hours & hours a day in leather shoes with no socks in the Houston muggy summers. (Does that turn you on?) Just imagine that funk getting inside a cut & brewing.

I was routinely banished from the house until I washed me feet with the hose.

I've seen enough of just regular CTS in the same color. It's not all that rare.

Your feet play into how fast the car is. That's where it all starts!

Even though it's an auto and your preference was manual you're still guaranteed to having some serious FUN with it and will probably have a tough time getting the smile off your face every time you drive it . ENJOY !
