Default got the ss cleaned up for summer!!!

hey guys,

*****UPDATED WITH MORE PICS******
per the exhaust tips, alot of you guys know i have a y3f ground effects kit with an rksport front lip, (as seen hanging in the garage in one of the pics below) the exhaust tips are tilted down a bit to compensate for the rear ground effect. if i choose to keep em off completly, the tips will be tilted more up to give it that "normal" look

i got the ss mostly cleaned. the fiance bought me these rims for my birthday, she is the best there is! it is going to rain tonight, i just wanted to get some of the winter junk off. enjoy!

thanks guys, i really want to lower it but chicago is not the place to do it, this car goes year round and i would have many close calls with, roadkill, snow, speed bumps, curbs, and alot more junk

by the way, the rims are new ......275/40/17 in the front and 275/35/18 in the rear

keep the compliments coming guys!

Did you swap the SS badges? I've thought about doing that before. Looks good.
