I guess I should add, she's completely stock (and nearly bald front tires).. Lol.. Getting new brakes at the end of the week.. Looks like the GM AC Delco Ceramics are the preference on these forums? Anywho, here's some pics.. They're from last March when I first bought the car, end of winter.. I don't have any new ones on the computer yet.. Either way, you've all seen a stock GXP before.. Lol..

Now it has new rear tires (new fronts come February) so they don't look as dull.. Needs a bit of TLC.. It is my baby, but it's also my DD.. Hard to keep it clean.. Could use a good clay/waxing.. Needs a couple very small dings touched up..

if you put 18x8's and 255 tires all around and lower it it will not fit. i had 255/45r18's all around and they rubbed.

I live in Windsor, Ontario.. As close to the US as it gets here.. Lol.. I don't plan on lowering my car at all, roads are bad enough in this city.. Has anybody went of stuck the 18x7 up front? I hear 245's fit on them no problem, so I can't see me losing TOO much traction.. And I'm sure I can sell my fronts for some rears and little $$.. Suggestions?
