Default Appearance mods are done

Sorry about the repost pictures, in different forum. I thought I would post some assorted pictures, since I'm done with the appearance mods.

1) 1.2" Drop with Eibach springs
2) 315 rubber on rear
3) black molding and door emblems
4) 1999 anniversary rear filler
5) Stainless steel rear PONTIAC inserts
6) 3.5" Stainless steel rolled exhaust tips
7) Clear side marker lights
8) Smoke fog and signal light covers
9) Custom RAM AIR 380hp hood decal
10) Descreened hood vents with BG Ram air

Done! Total cost is was about 2k. It adds up real fast.

Well... I have one more, polish the rims like glass this winter. I sprayed some mag cleaner on them and they went instant dull.

Looks great! The black sidemolding is a nice touch. How much was it to have your stock rims widen for the 315's.

The hood decals were kind of a mistake, It wasn't what I had ordered. But after looking at them for a while they grew on me. Now I like them a lot. Rims cost $200/rim to widen and I'm still using the stock shock with the eibach springs. The molding are for a black TA, cost $50/peice. even the little fender on was $50. Total was $300 just for the molding.

are those stock wheels? How can you safely fit 315s on them ? Either way, it looks badass.

heh, Tires are 17 Inch Yokohama A032R H-Compound (Track) Tires. P315/35ZR17 rear, and P275/40ZR17 front.

The ride with stock shocks seems fine to me. a little firm, but I like it like that. Are keeping the shocks stock not a good thing? What do people normally do?

I went for 2 years with the Prokit and stock shocks, but after about 5k your ride is going to suck badly, the stockers aren't valved for that ride height and will make the ride crap after its been awhile. Beautiful car tho!

3 years on a 2" drop here with stock shocks. The ride is oh so spectacular

Those tires look sick. What kinda treadlife do they have as compared to other similar tires (I would pick one but I'm not sure what they compare to)?
