Default Picked up some CCWs...
Need to raise the rear of the car about .5" and buy some spacers for the rear rims...I also need to spend a couple hours with each rim polishing them as they are in bad shape. But my car already looks better, even though it is filthy.





Edit (washed the car):

I think I found used Borla and had it installed within 9 days of getting the car. Borla is for bauces, no plate...

19's all the way around, I think they are 9.5" wide all the way around also by how the 275's are fitting...
