Default New Privat Profils!

Not the best of pics since it wants to rain here along with about 110% humidity... make it hard to dry a car

18x9.5s with 275/35/18 Falken FK-451s These are the silver ones and they are awesome! Thanks to Orange Peel for the first pics, SSOnYourSix for his pic of them on a black SS which sealed the deal and to Kevin at DTD for giving me a great deal!

Looks killer Carl. I think the car needs to be lowered though, if it is, I'm sorry, doesn't look like it from the pics. You're welcome for the pics, told you they would look awesome Looks like you have the Hooker Aerochamber exhaust from the tips, my wife's car has that exhaust and the tips look identical to yours.

They are a nice wheel huh?

LOL.... it is lowered but its the SLP Eibach (sp?) springs. It doesnt lower it much. The back is lowered a bit, but the front didnt move I may spring for the Eibach pro kit but Im afraid to scrap my headers and stuff

Its the Hooker CB It sounds good. I switch from true duals to this catback and have ZERO regrets

Not bad..

Carl just cut a set of stock springs dude. I ran cut springs for 3 yrs on my LT1. Cut 1.5 coil off the front & rear, it'll lower the car about 1.5 all the way around, look good, and not cause header clearance issues (unless of course you're driving over a massive speed bump). Sell your SLP's, free lowering, problem solved

Damn those look pretty good especially with that lip. I think the car looks good the way it sits, nice choice on the wheels.

Damian where do you get this cut the spring stuff from? You been hanging around the import croud too much or something ?
