Default 02 SS just got buffed!














It was wrecked while I was overseas too. The story says a deer ran into the side of it. It cracked the front bumper, broke all the front end lights, and smashed the right fender. Everything got replaced and the halo lights I had are back stock now. I like them better stock, the halos fit like *** and are the worst quality I've ever seen!
My car looked horrible when I got back from leave! It was ran through an automatic car wash a couple of times. I polished the rims with Eagle 1 Nano Polish, Mother's Powerball, and 2 hours of hand work. A guy from Raleigh, NC buffed, sealed, and waxed it. I couldn't have been happier!

Yeah 315 Sumitomo. They are actually a decent tire. They are cheap and wider now. They measured 12" after 3 months of road use. Now they are close to 12.5" across. Once you heat them they do ok. They aren't a BFG though.

I had the whistler mod on my last set of headlights, I love how bright and shiny these are without any color in them. It breaks up the blackness. The corners are smoked Helio lights. They are rare and about $100 if you find them. I got them off that auction site for around $40. The black side markers were bought with my old POS i mean POS! halo headlights. But if you are doing corners or new headlights I highly recommend going to Pep Boys and getting the windshield and glass sealant that says it flows into cracks on it. This will stop the cheap corner lights and aftermarket headlights from fogging due to say a carwash. Just apply where the lense and the body of the light meet and let dry for an hour. In response to who I let drive my car... my ex wife. She wasn't suppose to be driving it, now you know why.

Just curious but is that also why she is your EX-wife? You gave her the boot after she ran your car through an automatic car wash.
