Cool Sunny day, Clean SS!

I was just sitting in my office today looking out the window at my clean car with a high-noon sun bouncing off the NBM and I remembered why I Love this color! Just thought I would share some quick pics of the "view" from my office window. NBM Lovers…enjoy!

I've always loved that car. NBM and SOM are my colors of choice.

Very nice car, and I love the way that thing sits with the Koni's and DMS springs! Gotta love em'!

Gonna try to take some more pics today or tomorrow (while she's clean). I've been meaning to show the before and after pics with the Konies and DMS.

4u: The wheels are 17x9.5 all around with 285/40 ZR17 GoodYear Eagle F1's wrapped around them. I think I paid a little less than $300 per wheel (with tax).

They weren't available when I bought mine (Series 202) but, it looks like you can get them that way now (Series 402) with custom offsets.

Look here: American Racing

Left side after


btw, this pavement is fairly uneven. I think the car was actually leaning away from the camera.

Thanks guys! We're supposed to have great weather here through the weekend. So, I'm gonna try to get out Saturday and take some more pics (better angles) while the sun is still high in the sky. Hard to do that during the work day.

Stay tuned…

Okay… took some more pics but, I haven't gotten them all uploaded yet. But, here's one I really like. It was right at sunset and the orange light was hitting square on the front wheel. Tight. Shows the new drop real well, too.

I'll get the rest uploaded soon.
