I would only do one more thing to make it perfect; add black Pontiac fill-ins to break up all the white on the back of the bumper. Overall very nice though!

well...this is how that came to be.

I bought 4 tires from tirerack and had them installed. A few months earlier I had an alignment done. Well unknown to me it was pretty bad. So I went on a trip after the new tires where put on. So the car sat. Then I came home drove to my first date with my now GF and then drove to my aunt's for christmas. I probably put on maybe 3k in a month...i did a lot of driving. Then the car got keyed and vandalized..and yes its a real WS6 i had 16's on for the DC winters and crap. So after getting back from the LS2 NewYears eve party in Houston, I got off the plane at BWI and looked at the tires and said DAMN i can't drive this to Philly to get the vandalism fixed. So I took it into the shop to get new tires on the front and a new alignment and balljoints. Well thats when the **** hit the fan man... The alignment guy took it out for a "test drive". Now my car isn't exactly super fast or anything, but it did make 360 to the wheels on a mustang dyno. So during the test drive he lost control of the car and hit a concrete industrial fence post.

Wow... I hope you sued these guys for the downtime of the car and anything else you could come up with.
