Default A few new pics

Well I washed her up and got a few new pics this morning.

Just got my falken fk452 tires on Monday, 275/40/18's on the front and 245/45/18 on the rear.

Also, just put on my new LS4 door badges on that I picked up off williamgt

SSC Springs were ordered yesterday, so I'll be getting those put on when they come. Gotta drop the ol' girl for sure.

Thanks for looking

I love black cars!

Do you drive this in the winter time at all? I wonder how those tires will do in snowy weather.

Nope, see signature for generic details on tips, aka custom exhaust.

Thanks for the replies guys.

As for driving this car in the winter, I wil be, but I'll definitely be putting steelies and snow tires on.

Tips are aftermarket, I got them off ebay, 4" stainless steel tips.

I'll definitely post feedback of the tires, so far I'm loving them. The extra traction is awesome, I get a lot less wheel spin when I floor it.

And the badges do look great, I love them.

Got exact same tires. They are amazing how much they help torque steer and traction! If you turn the steering wheel all the way 1 direction I find there is barely have enough room to get two figures in. Ontario might be better then Winterpeg streets wise so you might be able to pull it off.
