Thanks, I didn’t think I would like them as much as I do but they just go well with the car somehow. Here is the best the car has ever looked. Picture taken by professional photographer Larry Chen at LS fest.

At about 1:50 it looks like there's a roll of duct tape taped down to the floor. Is that a homemade cupholder? lol
This thing is awesome.

When I was in High School there was one in our area with a 4.3L V6 in it and that thing was pretty quick.

Yeah that is my cup holder. I try to drive this car at least once a week. I’d like to drive it more but I don’t want to wake the neighbors leaving for work. You can see the cup holder in post #119. It’s been in there pretty much since it’s first been on the road. The only luxury I need to be considered a street car.

The side benefit, of course, is having "repair material" for, uh... just in case.....

I think I only have .5” studs right now, but still, I’m confident they’ll hold for a while

I don't think gold wheels look good on every car, but with certain colors, like brown, gold (or goldish...bronzeish....etc..) wheels look great. I was seeing pictures of many cars from this years SEMA, and clearly I am not the only person that thinks this.
