Default Proud new member! '05 GXP

Hey fellas! I just brought home (literally) a Dark Cherry Metallic '05 GXP with 33,xxx miles! I've been lurking around this section for a while now and you guys seem very knowledgeable, which is good because I'm bound to have a few questions when it comes time to mod. Yet that's where my dilemma comes in, this car has the remainder of an extended GM warranty thru 2011 or another 22K miles. I'd hate to void that much of a warranty already, but I want to mod this sucker, lol. I might just stick to exhaust and suspension for now, we'll see. I know you guys probably want some pics, I'll try to get her cleaned up and post some by tomorrow, but I just wanted to introduce myself and say "hey"!

Joe.

Let me know if you plan on going all 7" on your wheels.

I have an 06 Dark Cherry Metallic and I'm looking to trade my two rears for someone's fronts (I have the same wheel design as you - ALCOA FORGED).

I'd plan on doing it the same way you want to, having wider wheels on all corners if i ever change them out.
